    Autobailers on my FE's?

    I've built a few electric boats but never put an autobailer on my Electrics, only my gas boats. This may be a silly question but is this ok?

    I hear this quite often around here..

    If you need an autobailer on your FE boat, you've got other problems you need to fix first.


    I dont recommend an autobailer.

      . Electric and water don't mix.

        Nitro and gassers need air for the engines. These openings tend to let water in. Electrics don't need air. Water getting in is very bad for the electronics. That is why you want the hatch sealed with tape. If water is getting in, find the source and fix it. An autobailer is a source for a potential leak.
