Whitecap 1-Inch Stainless Steel Bailer Plug S-0291C
Whitecap 1-Inch Stainless Steel Bailer Plug S-0291C — Product description
The Whitecap S-0291C is a 1-inch stainless steel bailer plug that screws into your boat's transom drain. Back it out at the ramp to let bilge and rainwater run out, then thread it back in before you launch. Stainless steel holds up to constant saltwater exposure without rusting or seizing.
Every boat needs a way to drain the water that collects in the hull, and the Whitecap S-0291C handles that job with a simple screw-type plug. It threads into a 1-inch drain fitting in your transom or bilge. Back it out on the trailer and the water runs right out. Thread it back in before you launch and you're sealed up tight.
It's machined from stainless steel, so it shrugs off the constant wet-dry cycle that rusts cheaper hardware. Salt, spray, standing bilge water, none of it bothers stainless. That matters on a plug you'll be handling with wet hands a couple times every trip.
The screw-type design means no cam lever to snap and no lock to fuss with. You just turn it in by hand until it's snug. It's the kind of small part you don't think about until it fails, so it's worth getting one that won't. Keep a spare aboard and you're covered.

Frequently asked questions
What size drain does the S-0291C fit?
It's a 1-inch bailer plug, sized for standard 1-inch transom or bilge drain fittings. Measure your existing drain hole before ordering to confirm the fit.
Is this plug really stainless steel?
Yes. The whole plug is stainless steel, which is why it holds up to saltwater and constant wet-dry cycling without rusting the way plated or brass hardware can.
How does the screw-type bailer work?
You thread it into the drain fitting by hand. Turn it in to seal the hull before launching, and back it out at the ramp to let collected water drain out.
Should I keep a spare on the boat?
It's a small, inexpensive part that's easy to drop overboard at the ramp. Keeping a spare aboard means a lost plug never cuts a trip short.
