+1 on this. I installed a set this year and so far love 'em. Zero stains on the sides of the boat...so far.

 

Never seen them for sale anywhere. I did a write up a few years ago I believe on the 410DA thread on how I had them made, and don't remember any positive feedback. I believe the common theme was to buy a few inches of clear plastic hose, and silicone them in for far less money. I just hated that look, and wanted something nicer.

 

That’s what I do. Sounds a bit ghetto, but once the boat is in the water you can’t see the clear plastic tubing unless you’re looking for it.
Bought a roll at Home Depot a couple of years ago for about 5 bucks or so and still have enough left to last the next decade or so.
I pull them out as soon as the boat comes out of the water in November so I can back flush the AC’s with fresh water from a garden hose and pump link through to winterize.

 

Probably have to stay with hoses because the river water is soooo hard here, a/c splashes all over the side of my boat (Blue Hull), wicked 6 foot x 2 foot stains!!

 

6-7 inches of clear hose does the trick, not pretty, but a hell of a lot better that the HUGE stains. A white hull would have been first choice but a FRESHWATER 280hr boat was more important

 

Our brown rusty river water doesn't look good on any color hull. The a/c drain stains seem to be a battle in many areas. Best wishes.

 

I went with the clear plastic till I can find something better. The stains from salt water are nasty also!

 

I did the same, works great. Unless someone is looking for them, nobody notices them. I did not use any sealant, just stuck them....holding fine

That won't do it Mark, it's the a/c splash that stains the SH*# out of the hull

 

You guys got the small version?

 

Took Vinegar solution to remove hard water stains, but worked like a champ

 

I heard about this stuff and in April when I was on the hard I tried it. You spray it on and wipe it off redo if needed. The stuff was awesome the little brown mustache on the lower bow gone !!!

me too +1

 

It wouldn't help my problem as my a/c sprays at the dock then splatters all over hull

 

I used a 90 degree hose fitting. Plugged one side into the thru hull and the water goes straight down a couple of inches off the hull.

 

Do you guys know what size tube or fittings you used?

 

This is exactly why I ended up buying the dripper guards. I read 12 different threads with 8 different recommended tube sizes for 15 different model year boats. The dripper guards were pretty well a sure thing

 

I'm also thinking 3/8

 

+1 dripper guard is working well for us.

 

Here is a pic of mine and my neighbors

 

My drains are all equipped with the clear vinyl. I cut them to fit the right diameter and then cut the outboard end at an angle so the last drips run off the tip, not down the side of the boat.

Here's what they look like before I fit them into the hole.
