whats that rubber straw on the Fenn ski

on my Fenn Swordfish you have that rubber straw below the bung hole. what does it actually do. the reason am asking my sister kid pulled it and broke it. can i replace it or its not a big deal.. any advice on this..


thanks in advance

It's a breather, stops pressure build up inside the ski due to temperature differences after you put the bung in.

Advisable to replace it.

is it hard to replace. had a look on some sites cant even find it. so can buy it.

No, just find a suitable sized tube, even an old ink tube from a disposable ballpoint pen will work, and epoxy it in place.

Or just drill a hole in the bung!
