A sudden hole in the hull doesn't wait for you to find the right tool. You need something soft, tapered, and ready to bang in before water takes over.
This Jaycar safety plug is cut from soft timber, 150 mm long with a taper from 20 mm to 45 mm, sized to seat firmly in a through-hull opening. It's the kind of plug that stops the worst of it while you sort the real fix. And if you're operating under Australian Yachting Federation (AYF) regulations, carrying one isn't optional — it's required.
Keep it in the bilge locker. You'll be glad it's there
