It's time for new cowl vents. Found this Vetus on sale at Mauri Pro Sailing for about $44 less than
other suppliers. This newer model has a threaded ring that screws to the boat. The vent threads
onto the threaded ring and can be rotated into the breeze. Don't know when the sale is over but
I thought this was a good deal.
I did this job somewhat recently. I replaced the dorade boxes and vents, as well as the cowels. Made for a nice clean and new look on deck. I find they actually work to vent the boat. You loosen the ring on the cowel and rotate it into the prevailing wind and it works pretty well.
Guys : As previously mentioned - I paid a few bucks $$ and invested in two stainless steel vents. Have never regretted it. Just got tired of trying to keep the "plastic" ones clean and looking nice!! :thumb:
