The Bridgenorth Bailer
Considered to be the “Mercedes” of boat hooks, the Bridgenorth Bailer is a 3-in-1 telescoThe Bridgenorth Bailer performs a function that no other boat hook offers. As a hand pump, the Bailer can get into hard-to-reach places like bilges. It can hold almost half a litre at a time or with the reverse action can be used as a pressure washer. Water is expelled from the Bridgenorth Bailer 36 times faster than its operating speed, giving it a firing range of over 50ft and the power to clean hulls, the side of your boat or deck.
From its lexan hook, one of the strongest and most durable commercial plastics on the market, to its anodised aluminium shaft, only quality parts and materials are used in this product's construction. It collapses for easy storage and, unlike twist-lock hooks, its three-slot locking system secures the pole firmly when fully extended. Two weather-resistant non-slip grips ensure a solid grip when fending off other boats or hauling in a mooring. All metal parts are stainless steel or anodised aluminium and guaranteed not to rust.

The presentation starts at the ramp with launches and retrievals and also covers: laying alongside, planing, stopping smoothly, anchoring basics and various driving techniques. All segments are explained simply and designed to give anyone the basic skills for operating a powerboat confidently and proficiently.
This DVD runs for about 45 minutes and sells for a RRP of $29.95.
