Star brite Maxi-Boom Bilge Oil Absorber, Absorbs Up to 2 Quarts of Oil, Fuel, and Diesel

The Star brite Maxi-Boom Bilge Oil Absorber is an oversized absorbent boom designed to soak up oil-based fluids while leaving water behind, so bilge pumps continue to operate normally. It is built for use in boat bilges, under engines, and anywhere petroleum spills collect aboard a vessel.

The boom holds up to 2 quarts of oil, gasoline, diesel, and transmission fluid, making it well suited for capturing drips and spills directly at the source, including from an engine pan, before they contaminate the bilge. Because it selectively targets petroleum products rather than water, it lets bilge pumps keep running without pumping oil overboard.
