Just venting ....

[cSickNick]

I know there has been some previous posts on removing or keeping the side vents.

I decided to keep them, but tried to replace the plastic style vents with SS flush style vents.

Problem, the Attwood (#1499, 3"x17") SS vents have only a 1/2" flange. The old plastic ones have a larger flange (3/4" or more?)

Does anyone know of another SS flush vents that are slightly larger to fit?

Thanks Nick

Any thoughts on this, before it starts to sink again ...

thanks Nick

The only thing I know to do is to build up the hole from the inside with fiberglass and then gel coat that will make the opening a little smaller for you to screw in the stainless vents into the smaller opening.
