Abstract
A drip control marine fitting for passage of liquid through an opening in the hull of a marine vessel has a hollow tube extending through an opening through the hull, a flange attached to the tube and an opening through the flange to allow flow of fluid out of the vessel. The flange has a first surface abutting the outer surface of the hull and a second surface facing away from the outer surface of the hull. The first surface of the flange has a smaller surface area than the second surface of said flange. A diagonal surface interconnects the first and second surfaces, the lower part of the diagonal surface extending outwardly and downwardly from the first surface to the second surface to inhibit flow of liquid from the passage to the outer surface of the hull.
