Re: plastic vents-hullsides
Every year I have to replace those aft vents. Dock rash from broad side docking. It only takes one friend to say " I got it... " to hold the boat off the dock - and he doesn't have anything !!!
A hassle because a new one needs to ground down in the back of the vent to make it fit just right.
I have an i/o and like the idea of air circulating in my bilge even though I have fuel injection.
Do your vents recess the same distance as the stock ones or further in ? My vent box is fairly original, maybe a little thicker from when I re-did the transom. Can you find out the manufacturer of them ?
This season I have to pull off the forward vent frames and refinish them - so I would consider doing vents at the same time.
