Phil Allen Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Folks- Trying to put together a repair kit that's more than just ducktape, plastic bags and bungie cord. What do people take for quick/emergency repair of their hull? Duct tape doesn't hold too well unless I can really dry the surface. Thanks.

rick stoehrer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 repair kit ratcheting screwdriver with various heads - about 4 inches length self tapping wood screws multi tool - pliers, awl knife sea scissors small nuts/bolts zip ties - vaious lengths spare bungie spare line coupla rdf's for ndk prepared patches - 6 inch square pieces of hard plastic with denzo tapes edges. wrapped in wax paper in individual baggies...with latex gloves lotsa duct tape lighter small fiberlgass repair kit float bags what some of that does...if there is a hole in the boat, you can apply one of the hard plastic patches and screw it in place with the denzo (waterproof plumbing tape) sealing the edges. then wrap that whole thing with duct tape....all the way around the boat around the deck to hull...it ain't pretty but it holds like the dickens. then put the float bag in that hatch. overkill. depending on what the repair is / where i am / where i am going, i may or may not do a fairly thorough repair to a "just get me home" repair. the thinking being that the field repair will be ugly and will have to be stripped off anyways when you go to do a more proper and aesthetically appealing repair of your boat.
