Thread: Bungs

  1. #1

    Bungs

    The deckie went out and bought some new bungs for our boat and on the next trip the water p****ssed through the bung (must be her fault, not mine).

    On checking found out there are two types of bungs, a fine thread and wide thread. I have had a few boats in my time and obviously showing my naivety, I never realised there was such a thing as a fine thread bung.

    Why the two different thread patterns and for what purpose please.

    Cheers

    I had the same dilemma as you, although i checked to make sure my new biing fitted properly before i ook it out. once i relized it didnt. i took it back and exchanged it. But i do think its stupid to have 2 types.

    There's nothing worse than an " O ring Bung that doesn't fit" and I'm not going any further with that. Do you get them in the "Valley".

    Pete,
    You are naughty. However, I was thinking along the same lines as you
