Louvered Vents Source
I'm preparing to refit my '76 23' Sceptre - she was an I/O that was converted to a bracketed outboard, and has four black louvered vents in the hull. I'd like to put new vents in, as mine are chipped and cracked, but haven't found the right size (mine are 5 5/8" x 14" overall). Anybody have a source? I found white ones, and guess I could paint them with plastic paint in a pinch. Thanks!

ebay seller searayman13 / explorersport13 (same seller)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VENT-LOUVER...item1caafc7fed He's got bright white, white, grey, and black. They are identical to the originals on my 77 seafari; they are new old stock; I spoke with the seller, who happens to be in my neck of the woods, and will buy more in the even I crack one. Highly recommended.

Just for grins Jim....one of my vents is a bit rough, so I went on the WM web site to check on replacing it and they want $35 for a black one that fits my boat. Out I went and looked at mine again and it's seems it has repaired it's self to like new condition!!

Mine are a little bigger than the one's West Marine has. I took one of my old one's in and compared. There are a lot of places selling the Sea Dog louvers that are "almost" what I have, but not quite.

My '79 23 Sceptre came with Attwood Louvers.
http://www.attwoodmarine.com/store/p...-Louvered-Vent They were "chrome plated" originally but over the years turned into a dull gray color with a little "chrome" left over. After looking up what they cost new (  ), I painted them the hull color (Jade Mist), reinstalled them and called it good.

Repaired Louvered Vent
Years ago I switched my 20' Seafari louvers to larger ones, more like what was on the 23' I think. Never could EASILY find replacements in the right size. Mine were pretty good except for damage to a couple louvers. Used a little fiberglass cloth, epoxy, maybe a little Marine Tex as bondo, small dremel tool grinder, sandpaper, and black spray paint- looks like new!
