Star brite Super Absorbent Cellulose Boat Bail Sponge - 9" x 4.5" x 1.75"

Why you'll want it

• Holds over a quart of water. This sponge takes in more than one quart of liquid at a time, so you can soak up a lot of water in one pass.
• Gets water out when you cannot tilt. When you cannot tip the boat to empty it, this sponge pulls the water up for you and keeps the boat dry.
• Large size covers more surface. At 9 by 4.5 by 1.75 inches, each wipe covers more area, so the cleanup goes quicker.
• Dry the boat before winter storage. As fall haul-out and winter storage come, use it to dry the bilge and wipe down the deck and seats so the boat is clean and dry when it is put away.
