Summary: 


In my laser it means that when you gt going fast enough the self bailer
portion that sticks below the bottom of the boat creates magic suction
that sucks the thing dry. Also in the laser self bailing means that when
(not if) you tip over the cockpit is above the water and all the water that
has collected in the cockpiut drains (bails) out (as do all the passengers).
In my power boat there is a plug at the back that you pull out when you get
on plane and all of the water bails out. Another feature on the motor I have
is an automatic bailer that sucks water out whenever the motor runs. I really
don't know what I would do with all the water that water-skiing brings in
if I didn'd have the bailer. Real boring bailing.

Bottom line on bailing... Self/Automatic bailers get the boat dry.
