Thru hulls are fantastic for helping you evacuate unwanted water from your hull. Unfortunately, they can sometimes leave unsightly staining on the outside of your boat where they drain. The Dripper Guard is a simple but effective solution to keep your boat stain free. It simply sticks underneath your thru hull and prevents water and grime from building up underneath it. The Dripper Guard is available in two sizes — small and large — and two colors — black and white.
