Here in the UK. we have a Damage device called a SUBRELLA. This is somewhat
similar to an umbrella,but well engineered. In collapsed form it is pushed
through the hole,and when pulled back via handle and attached line covers
and closes the hole,under water pressure.
Is supplied in various sizes. Worth carrying as safety equipment. Regards.

one thing i did do last year was to re-plumb the raw water intake.
to include a valve in the engine compartment with a hose bib to facilitate
winterizing the boat.
it also serves as a very capable bilge pump should the occasion present
itself.
set of bungs.
hose clamps
extra hose for engine raw water. been there when a hose busted at 2 in the
morning. (why does everything that is critcal happen at 2 in the morning?)
rebuilt the emergency bilge pump (manual)

other than that: an eprib, a hand held radio and flares sit just inside
the
campionway

What type of damage control gear do you keep on board.?

Dunnage, plugs. bracing, patches, ect to keep your vessel floating if
you hole your hull.
