Try Bob here at Beacon. Or, most boating stores have them. If you want to bling your boat out, I've seen some that are plastic chrome...

I am looking for one to replace the missing vent cover for the forward head - have yet to find a match for this one.

The vents on my Tri Cabin were in stock items at a bunch of my local marine stores.Three of the eight needed to be replaced, I got exactly the same vents stainless steel not chrome covered plastic less than $30.00 each. If you guys cant locate them I will get the manufactures name and model number. John

STOP !!!!

as the defacto tri cabin historian on the site, i need to jump in here for a second. the types of louvered vents will vary depending on model year and design.

FOR TRI CABINS WITH STAINLESS STEEL 5 LOUVERED VENTS, hamilton marine has these. see link below. (i think you can also get them at marine supply stores, but at a higher cost)

http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse. ... ,8177.html

FOR TRI CABINS THAT HAVE THE PLASTIC/NYLON 7 LOUVERED VENTS. these are manufactured by attwood marine products and i have included a direct link to their site. i'm planning on retrofitting mine in the next few weeks with the off white vents as the current ones are chipped and some of the paint is coming off. the far aft vents will need to be unscrewed from inside by removing the panels above the storage compartments. these vents are not only secured from the outside, but are screwed to the collector boxes. the other ones can be removed from the outside as they vent directly into the plywood venting system. don't forget to run a bead of caulk around the mounting hole and screws.

THE BILGE BLOWER/FWD/AFT HEAD VENT COVERS WITH A 45 CUT INTO THEM, were custom manufactured by trojan at the factory and can be obtained from bob at beacon marine. warning... they are NOT inexpensive.

any other questions, feel free to ask me.

Uh, Aaron, what's the square root of 166, multiplied by 13.35 devided by 24?

Otherwise, nice informative post!

12.88 x 13.35 = 171.948 / 24 =

7.1645
