Re: bungs out
Years ago
Got a stessle edge tracker from Frenchies marine.
first boat those little stessles had four bungs.
But in at the army base at Larrakeyah ramp.
two bungs not done up took a little while to notice as had full floor in it
Turned on bilge while putting bung in.
no water coming out pump outlet ha ha ha ha
my mate had wired it up arse about and was sucking air.
lucky it was above water line
left bungs out and took off and venturied most of the water out.
Couple of lessons learned there.

In the NT News ...
In that creek I'd be more worried about the bull sharks.

More risk of getting hepatitis in there than croc/shark attack...
