EMERGENCY REPAIR KITS

The products included in the kit supply ready-to-use materials which quickly reduce or stop unintentional flooding (i.e., damage control) and give the crew a chance to effect a temporary repair, or reach port. The Damage Control Kit is packed in an easy-to-stow container clearly marked with its contents and fits any size vessel or gear type. Includes:
