Roger Peterson Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Can anyone explain to me how the self bailer in the Core Sound boats work and is it really needed? I have a funny feeling about cutting a hole in the bottom of the hull and not putting a centerboard there. It seems I remember seeing one in a beach boat many years ago. It had a rubber flap... The boat was full of water... :shock: Do they leak? Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Roger The ones I have used in the past lock shut and are watertight. When open they have a stainles steel flap that stops water coming in. When you pick up a bit of speed the flow 'sucks' the water out. They are very useful for draining either small or large amounts of water. I will be fitting one to my CS17 Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Peterson Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Thanks of the insight on how the self bailer works. Does enough water get into the core sounds to justify the installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
