ANDERSEN Super Max Bailer – Inside Mount (RA554133)

The ANDERSEN Super Max Bailer (RA554133) is a high-performance automatic self-bailing system designed to efficiently remove water from dinghies, sailboats, and small craft. Known worldwide for its reliability, this bailer provides a simple and effective way to keep your boat dry without manual effort.

Engineered for inside hull mounting, the Super Max uses water flow beneath the boat to create suction, automatically drawing water out while underway. This makes it an ideal solution for sailing and high-performance applications where continuous water removal is essential.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the bailer offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in harsh saltwater environments. Its precision design includes an integral grid and secure mounting hardware, providing strength and reliable operation. 

With a large opening area (approx. 540 mm²) and optimized internal design, the Super Max delivers maximum water evacuation efficiency, making it a preferred choice for boat builders and competitive sailors. 

Technical Specifications

• Model Number: RA554133 (Super Max)

• Mounting Type: Inside Mount (Flange is mounted on the interior of the hull)

• Material: Marine-grade 316 Stainless Steel

• Gasket: Integrated high-quality rubber seal

• Cut-out Dimensions: $41/8"\times 21/4"$ ($105\text{ mm}\times 57\text{ mm}$)

• Flange Dimensions: $51/4"\times 31/4"$ ($133\text{ mm}\times 83\text{ mm}$)

Key Features

• Maximum Flow Rate: As the largest bailer in the Andersen range, the "Super Max" is designed for boats that take on large volumes of water or require rapid drainage during maneuvers.

• Venturi Effect: Works by creating a low-pressure zone beneath the hull as the boat moves, effectively "sucking" water out of the cockpit once a minimum speed is achieved.

• Internal Flush Fit: The inside mount design is preferred by many racers as it allows for a cleaner exterior hull profile, reducing drag compared to some external-mount versions.

• Secure Locking: Features a reliable lever mechanism that ensures a watertight seal when closed, preventing leaks even when the boat is stationary or moving at slow speeds.

• Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from polished 316 stainless steel to withstand constant exposure to saltwater and high-stress racing environments.

Installation & Maintenance

• Hull Prep: Requires a precise rectangular cut-out. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and reinforced if the hull is thin.

• Bedding: Use a high-quality marine sealant (like Sikaflex 291) under the flange to ensure a secondary watertight seal against the hull.

• Serviceability: Periodically check the rubber gasket for debris or wear. The gasket is replaceable to maintain the unit's watertight integrity over time.

Keep your boat dry and performing at its best with the ANDERSEN Super Max Bailer, delivering efficient, automatic water removal and long-lasting marine durability.
