Waterproofing Bungs
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Sat, 2022-12-17 11:05
About to drop my boat in a canal for a week and want to make sure the bungs are impenetrable. I know petroleum jelly is no good but would a smear of the marine grease for my hubs be fine as I'm sure it's not petroleum based or even just soak the bungs in light solution of morning fresh?
Cheers

Silicone grease them up.

seal
I took the seal that comes with bung off and replaced it with an"O"ring for water taps from Bunnings, no more problems

O-ring and grease works for me
Did similar to Derek, using an O-ring from an 18mm hose fitting on the bung and added a good blob of the silicone O-ring grease. Seems to work well, but ideally you would leave the bilge pump on auto as backup.
