bottom plug

Dear HR29 sailors,

does anyone know, where I can find the bottom plug in my HR29? Didn't notice that such a plug exists.

For information:

Hey Martin,

the bottom plug can be purchased from the Hallberg Rassy Parts shop either alone or as the complete bilge plug assembly:

I was also planning to check out our plug but found that it is covered by a thick layer of epoxy-primer on our boat. Do you know whether the solid or hollow plug was used on the HR29?

Cheers,
Nils

Hello Nils,
thanks for reply, good to have the part-numbers. Unfortunately I do not know, whether we have the hollow ones or the solid ones. Until now, I didn't even know that we have bottom plugs. The only use is to rinse the bilge completely, standing on land, I thought they were not necessary on a small boat like ours. Think I'll ask HR support about that question.
When there is a thick layer epoxy, it seems to be safe and tight, I read about just color over the corroded hollow one.
