The product was YACHTSAVER. They are bankrupt.
I think you could take a bunch of garbage bags and
a carton of GREAT STUFF foam insulation, and have
the same effect, When you are going down, put a piece
of duct tape over the nozzle of each, throw it in a
big garbage bag and throw em in each open space.
The boat might not sink if you have enough of em.
I don't know how many you would need, but there are
enough crack engineers in our group that I bet one
of our brighter lights would be able to tell us!
An uncle invented and had the first patent on
Steel Wool about 80 years ago... he was the only
inventer in our family...<G>
