Abstract
An apparatus for muffling the discharge of water from the hulls of marine vessels. The apparatus generally includes a base component with a bottom and a top, a method of attaching the device to the hull of a marine vessel, and a discharge carrier generally in the form of a tube used to control the discharge of water into the main body of water. The device will allow the discharge of water from the vessel to be introduced to the main body of water at or below the main body of water's surface at a reduced velocity and over a larger surface area, greatly reducing the amount of noise generally associated with water being discharged from said vessels.
