Remove (water) from a boat (4)

I believe the answer is:

bail

(Other definitions for bail that I've seen before include "Sum of money guaranteeing the accused's return to court" , "Partition in stable" , "Act on leak" , "Wooden bar" , "Remove water from -- part of wicket" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
