Product Overview
The Oil-Only Net Bag Bilge Booms 16.5x21x6 In., 10/case, 15 per pallet is an oil-only bilge absorbent engineered specifically for the tight confines of boat bilge compartments, marina finger piers, and small containment areas.The net bag bilge boom design uses polypropylene filler in a mesh net bag (16.5″ × 21″ × 6″) for maximum absorption in open bilge sumps and drip pans. Sold as a case of 10.
Each bilge absorbent selectively absorbs petroleum-based fluids — oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid — while repelling water. Floats even when fully saturated, making it ideal for continuous deployment in wet bilge environments. White color provides easy visual monitoring of oil saturation levels.

Expert Insights
Bilge absorbents are the first line of defense against oil sheen from boat engine compartments. The U.S. Coast Guard and EPA require vessels to prevent visible oil discharge — bilge booms and socks provide passive, continuous oil absorption that keeps bilge water clean between pump-outs.
The net bag bilge boom design maximizes surface area contact with bilge water. The mesh bag conforms around engine mounts and irregular surfaces, absorbing oil from all directions simultaneously.
For marina operators managing dozens of slips, stocking bilge absorbents is a cost-effective way to prevent USCG violations and maintain clean water certifications.
Bilge Absorbents in Action
Marina operators deploy bilge absorbents in every slip as part of their Clean Marina program compliance. Boat owners place them in engine compartments before launching to prevent oil sheen violations during pump-outs. Commercial fishing vessels use them continuously to maintain compliance with USCG discharge regulations (33 CFR 151).
Purchased by marina managers, harbor masters, boat yard operators, commercial vessel captains, and marine environmental compliance officers. Bulk case quantities allow marinas to stock multiple slips and resell to boat owners as a value-added service.
