WTB vent cover
 
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.

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 :cool:
