  • Patent number: 10780951
    Abstract: A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device includes: a channel body having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional area along a length of the body such that the body forms a channel for directing fluid within the body, the body extending from a first end proximate to the hull of the vessel when the drainage device is installed and a second end that is distal from the hull of the vessel, wherein the second end extends beyond an edge of the thru-hull fitting; and a ring having an inner diameter that is at least as wide as a diameter of the bore in the hull of the vessel, the resiliently flexible channel body attached to the ring at the first end of the channel body. The drainage device is secured to the hull of the vessel by securing the ring between the thru-hull and the hull of the vessel.

  • Patent number: 9919766
    Abstract: A marine thru-hull fitting drainage device directs fluid away from a thru-hull fitting in the hull of a vessel. The drainage device includes a resiliently flexible channel body having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional area, the body shaped to taper from a first flat end proximate to the hull of the vessel to a second narrower end that is distal from the hull of the vessel. The device also includes a flange attached to the first end of the body proximate to the hull having a flat surface area shaped to conform around an edge of the thru-hull fitting on the hull of the boat and an adhesive material formed on the flat surface area of the semi-circular flange, the adhesive material attached to the flat surface area of the semi-circular flange on a first side and having a removable non-adhesive layer concealing a second adhesive side of the adhesive material.
