Hello All

We all use the standard bailers on most boats but a few years ago the Delta Self Bailers came out and I want to know what do people think about them???

Never seen any, but can't imagine their would be a big performance gain, amount of work involved in removing old ones, then fitting new ones.

In terms of use very, very little to choose between them. The plastic Delta bailers will be more fragile, but they will also not damage your boat in the event of misuse.

To change from one to the other will be a significant operation.

You see them used in GP14s, seldom elsewhere that i've spotted.

very much so i can only think they would be likely to be fitted to new build of low to medium performance none self draining boats or follwing reflorring something like a wooden Mirror
