Whitecap S-0290C 1-Inch Brass Bailer Plug
Whitecap S-0290C 1-Inch Brass Bailer Plug — Product description
The Whitecap S-0290C is a 1-inch brass bailer plug with a heavy-duty rubber sleeve. Twist the screw and the sleeve expands to seal a drain. Simple, reliable, and built to live in salt water.
Every boat has a drain that needs a plug, and this is the one you reach for. The Whitecap S-0290C is a 1-inch brass bailer plug with a screw-type mechanism and a heavy-duty rubber sleeve. Drop it in the drain hole, give the top a few twists, and the rubber squeezes outward until it grabs the sides and seals tight. Back it off and the water drains out. That's the whole trick, and it works.
We like these for livewells, bait tanks, and deck scuppers where you want a plug that won't rot or seize up after a season on the water. The body is solid brass, so it shrugs off corrosion better than plastic in a salt environment. The rubber sleeve is thick enough to take real squeeze without tearing, which is where the cheap plugs usually give up.
It's sized for a 1-inch drain opening. If you're not sure what you've got, measure the inside of the hole before you order. Keep a spare in the tackle box too. These are the kind of small part you never think about until the one you have walks off.

Frequently asked questions
What size drain does this bailer plug fit?
It's built for a 1-inch diameter drain opening. Measure the inside of your drain hole before ordering to confirm the fit.
How does the plug seal?
It's a screw type. Turning the top compresses the heavy-duty rubber sleeve so it expands outward and grips the drain wall for a watertight seal. Back the screw off to release and drain.
Is it okay to use in salt water?
Yes. The body is solid brass, which holds up to corrosion better than plastic in a salt environment.
Do I need any tools to install it?
No. You twist it by hand to tighten and loosen, so no tools are needed to set or remove it.
