Star Brite Maxi Boom Bilge Oil Absorber – 74-86805
The Star Brite Maxi Boom is a cylindrical bilge oil absorber designed to float in your bilge and continuously capture oil and fuel before they mix with bilge water. By absorbing petroleum-based fluids while completely repelling water, it allows the remaining bilge water to be legally pumped overboard — keeping you compliant and protecting the marine environment.
Best Use Case
Ideal for any vessel with an inboard or stern-drive engine where oil seepage into the bilge is a regular occurrence. Place the boom in the bilge near the engine and let it work passively between maintenance intervals. The built-in tie-downs keep it secured in position even in rough conditions, so it stays where you put it. Replace when fully saturated.
Parts Desk Insights
The Maxi Boom is the preferred bilge sorbent format for boaters who want a set-it-and-forget-it solution between oil changes. Unlike flat pads, the boom format sits upright in the bilge sump and intercepts oil at the source. It absorbs up to 2 quarts of oil before needing replacement. For high-volume service environments or vessels with significant oil seepage, pair with flat absorbent pads for broader coverage:
- Star Brite Bilge Oil Absorbent Pads – 5-Pack (74-91845)
- Star Brite Bulk Bilge Oil Absorbent Pads – 200-Pack (74-91820)
