Andersen bailer service kit

   Only used one to prevent leaks, have you got any abandoned boats you can take a working one out of?

	I have an Andersen Self Bailer in my Streaker but the chute is very loose. I put the bailer down when its windy but when the boat moves at speed it pops back up again. I have never had such a loose bailer, they normally are very stiff and make a crunchy noise from the sand so I have never had this issue before on other boats. I have tried bending the sides of the chute outwards to create friction but this has just caused leaks (thankfully only when the bailer is down). Is there anything else I can do? I see you can buy service kits that include replacement rubber gaskets, is that likely to increase friction enough? What are the symptoms that the service kits are supposed to fix? Thanks.
