In Response To: Bailer leakage (Bob Skewis)

I have made one like this work before on a Star (Yes, just one). Had to make my own gasket, slighly thicker than the stock and it took a bit more grunt to close. They NEVER stop leaking when open unless you are moving quicly. On light days, don't bother, more comes in than ever goes out. If I can't get them to work I WILL fashion some sort of insert with a drain hole.
