I have setup this kickstarter to raise money for production of these newly invented automatic boat plugs. I call it a submersion valve and it is intended to be a one-way valve that keeps water out while allowing water and debris to exit from within. I know most of us have forgotten to put our plugs back in and had to frantically get the boat plugged. With these on your boat, you never have to remember to plug or unplug your boat again!

The way it works is very simple. Inside the valve body is a floating rubber ball or bullet plug that is constrained from moving laterally. When the valve is submerged, the ball floats and plugs the hole, keeping water from getting through. Once out of the water, the ball falls allowing water and debris out which flows through the channels next to the plug.

Due to the nature of manufacturing and shipping, large production quantities are necessary to bring prices down to levels that benefit everyone. Kickstarter is the perfect platform for projects like these as it both allows one to raise funds for production instead of depending on distributors and it allows one to gauge interest in their product. There are two options for funding this project depending on whether or not you’re interested in this for yourself or you’re interested in this to resale. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
