WTB vent cover

[bridgeman]

Lost the black louvered vent cover on my starboard side last weekend, anyone have one they want to sell or does anyone know where I can buy one? Would like two so I can have a spare.

I'm assuming you mean the louvered vents about 3 1/2" X 18" , mine are black. I replaced all four a while back. Got them from West Marine. part # 1495A1 Attwood, West Marine's 195067. Page 362 in their 2009 catalog.

ive seen chrome ones and black ones on ebay claiming to be for seacraft relatively cheap. not sure on sizes.

I may have the black ones from my 27. I replaced them with stainless ones. I will measure them tomorrow.

Depends on the year boat, I think. My '75 Tsunami uses only the SeaDog brand that you can get at West Marine.

But no other louvered ones, even though they look almost identical, fit correctly...

I buy 3-4 at a time. The louvers seem to stick out beyond the metal frame and get busted up every season from various trailering and dock 'touches' !

Good luck...

That's why I made my own. I could not find ones that worked. I used 1/4" PVC Board & formed the outside flange that covered the large existing vent hole. Then I used 2-part epoxy glue to adhere the flange to the new smaller vents. Slight sanding to form rounded edges, painted & screwed to the hull with (4)#8 s/s screws. The vents fit snug to the sides of the hull and within the bounds of the rub rail ....works fine

thanks to all for the leads.
