Intakes and valves can do some serious damage if they break while underway. If you need to carry out an emergency repair at sea, you can use the handy Seabung. This is a flexible rubber rod “Made in England” to be inserted into the pipes, which has an “umbrella” at its end that seals the socket and prevents water from entering.
