Other possibly useful items to have on board to plug a hole are a soft conical plug such as the Forespar Sta-Plug Emergency Plug or the emergency fiberglass layup kit.

And here are a couple links to videos by Yachting Monthly testing various ways to deal with a hole in your boat from their Crash Test Boat series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRhcXBtmPQs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUg3TUmnQBs

Has anyone tried or tested any of the various underwater sealing tapes (Gorilla, Flex Seal, etc)? It seems like a roll of that would be the easiest to have in the boat and easiest to use, but that assumes it work.
