TruPlug is a temporary or emergency plug for your boat where water would enter a circular, oval, or irregular hole caused by maintenance failure or hull breach due to impact. A 2” hole in your boat, only 1 foot below the waterline would fill a 55 gallon drum in 40 seconds. Bilge pumps can not keep up. You must stop the water.
TruPlug is a tapered circular cone shaped plug made of a proprietary foam formulation that is a solid, spongy and coated with a flexible sealer 9" (23 cm) high, 4.75" (12 cm) diameter at base. Weight: 3.9 oz (110g).

The TruPlug is suitable for holes up to four inches in diameter.
For boats under 30’ we recommend two TruPlugs and a minimum of three for any boat in excess of 30’. This allows one TruPlug for a thru-hull/hose failure and provides spares for other holes or to cut in the event of a hull impact breach. Click here for FAQ - frequently asked questions (PDF).
The TruPlug is constructed of proprietary special purpose foam and coated with a flexible sealer adding strength and color.
