Vetus dorade cowl vent

[rappareems]

I am looking to replace my dorade... I know some like the stainless but they are not to forgiving when a jib sheet fouls or crew takes a dive...

I see four models but none seem to measure what mine is... I get a six inch diameter on the fastening ring and app. 9" height....

Suggestions??

Looks like it is the "Tom" model.... from the research I just did on the site.... don't slap my hand Stu...

I believe that is correct.

I replace mine two months ago. Best price I found was Defender.

Huh?  I'd never do that.    I'd just tell you I wrote a Mainsheet article about that, but I would also and always go so far as to tell you that here it is:

Good for you for finding what you needed.

Mark : Your 1986 and the C34s thru 1988 are all 4" Vetus dorade vents. 

1989 and subsequent C34s should be Nicro 3" dorados vents. 
(sometimes Catalina factory had "let over" items from the previous years design - that they used up the next year !!)

I have 4" Dia. Hole on cabin top. Vetus TOMS is what I replaced it with.
