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. t.jones
