Tim731 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hey all, Just wondering if anyone else has any problems inserting and removing there bungs. I always find that my rudder pin gets in the way to the point I have to take out my STBD rudder off altogether. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yes it is hard. Generally if the rudder is straight back then you can fiddle them in. Alternative is to put a hatch on the rear deck and block up the bung holes - foamy's are like this. No more leaking from the bungs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim731 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Cheers Jimbo, I was looking at changing them over to something a little lower profile then the standard however the lower profile ones seem to be stainless (which isnt bad) however the way to insert most of them is with a flaty which doesnt help that much given access is the problem.

knobblyoldjimbo Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Aah, the other thing I did was to cut off the 'ears' - makes it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I cut a bit off both ends, that fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat of vengence Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I forgot to put the bungs in once, we were wondering why it was wallowing so much.... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim731 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Cheers guys, I've had to trim the 'wings' down on the port side but the STBD one I had to cut them off altogether. Just thought I'd put it out there to find out what people were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
