The canted louver design deflects water away from the opening and helps conceal the collector box mounted behind it, while drain slots built into the vent body prevent water from pooling and accumulating in the housing. It installs flush to the hull or deck surface for a clean, low-profile look rather than sitting proud of the surface like a surface-mount vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vent is molded in black ABS plastic, which is paintable if you want to color-match it to your hull or deck. It requires a 1341 collector box for 3 inch ventilation systems, or a 1342 collector box for 4 inch systems, and is installed using #8 fasteners. The cutout needed for installation measures 2 inches by 15-3\/8 inches, with an overall vent size of 2-3\/4 inches by 17-9\/16 inches once mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1494A5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABS Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutout Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches x 15-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Vent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-3\/4 inches x 17-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flush Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e #8 fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Collector Box (3 inch system):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1341\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Collector Box (4 inch system):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1342\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaintable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5825 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697149497\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal flush-mount installation for boat hulls and decks requiring a 2 inch x 15-3\/8 inch cutout;
