I replaced my vetus cowl vents with new vetus  , just the top part.  Wasted my money with in a few years they had a big brown spot on the top. They were the white ones with red interior. Charlie

I painted both of ours with Krylon, not the best finish, but still looking pretty good.

The interiors of the vents are painted with Red and Green appropriate to the side of the boat.

I had edited my earlier reply so you may not have seen this.

Page 270-273 lists specs for the cowls including flow capacity.

     Becki,

       If you were asking me, I used Marinco/Nicro stainless steel solar vents available through West Marine. As I recall they fit the existing platform rather nicely with little or no modification required.

I like this idea of replacing them with solar vents.  Never thought of that, good tip.

[anaisdog]

i would but i already have solar fans in the aft

      Becki,

        If you're talking about the OE solar vents in the head and aft cabin, I moved them forward to the dorade vent holes and just capped the back holes. If you have a dodger those rear vents are practically useless and if you don't can you really have to much ventilation?

[anaisdog]

true.  i don't have a dodger so i have the solar vents after and the dorado forward.  thanks
