Dorade Cowl Vents

One thing I definitely want to do on our '81 Tartan 37 is to replace the cowl vents we have in the salon. I'm not overly concerned with the forward vents at this time since our dinghy will spend a fair amount of time up there until we get davits installed.

That said, I removed the solar vents and measured a 4" threaded base. I've been looking on the internet and see lots of 3" screw in vents, but not 4" except for the expensive stainless steel versions. I'm happy with pvc vents, but all I see are friction fit. Anyone else add cowl vents, and, if so, where'd you get 'em?

Re: Dorade Cowl Vents

I bought mine on eBay. I still see them occasionally. You can save your searches and be notified when something is listed. The key is to act quickly but only buy from a well rated seller. If it looks too good to be true…
