Perko Cowl Ventilator 1312DP0CHR, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy, 3 Inch Duct Neck
The Perko 1312DP0CHR is a chrome plated cowl ventilator built to move air through a boat's deck or engine compartment duct without any special hardware. The body is zinc alloy finished in chrome plating over a black Perko-Kote base, giving it a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up in a marine environment better than a plain painted finish. The ventilator's neck is threaded to accept a 3 inch duct hose directly, so no hose clamps are required for installation, simplifying both the initial fit and any future duct service. The cowl mouth opening measures 7-1/3 square inches, providing solid airflow for ventilating bilges, engine compartments, or below-deck storage areas. Overall dimensions are 5-1/8 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 3-7/8 inches in height, a compact footprint suited to standard deck cutouts. Mounting uses number 8 screws. This item is the retail-packaged version of the 1312 series cowl ventilator; Perko also offers this same ventilator under part number 1312000CHR as an OEM bulk-packaged unit for boat builders and high-volume installers, though the ventilator itself is identical. Choose the 1312DP0CHR when you need a single replacement or upgrade unit with retail packaging.
