{"product_id":"vico-plastics-boat-vent-ii-boat-cover-vent-black-uv-inhibited-plastic","title":"Vico Plastics Boat Vent II Boat Cover Vent, Black, UV-Inhibited Plastic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Boat Vent II (BV2) from Vico Plastics is a boat cover vent designed to repair and upgrade boat covers by adding proper airflow. Installing a Boat Vent II lets warm, moist air escape from an enclosed boat cover, helping to reduce moisture buildup, prevent mildew and mold, and extend the life of the boat's upholstery and cover. The vent is molded from UV-inhibited plastic, giving it long-term resistance to harsh sun exposure, saltwater conditions, and extreme weather, and it carries a water-resistant rating so it holds up in rain and spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires no special tools and follows the same simple method as before: the vent is pulled apart and fitted directly into the boat cover material. Note that Boat Cover Vents are now assembled with the lower washer upside-down; this updated assembly allows the vent to be pulled apart much more quickly and easily than the previous version, while the installation steps in the cover remain the same. The Boat Vent II offers a universal fit, making it compatible with custom and semi-custom marine covers, and it can be paired with a cam-lock support pole (sold separately) for added support and to help prevent water from pooling on the cover. It is manufactured in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vico Plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e BV2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\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 UV-Inhibited Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 4 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 004340026282\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Support Poles \u0026amp; Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Vico Plastics BV2 Boat Vent II used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BV2 Boat Vent II is a boat cover vent that vents and tents boat covers, letting warm, moist air escape to help prevent mildew and mold buildup underneath the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Boat Vent II fit my boat cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the BV2 is designed with a universal fit and is compatible with custom and semi-custom marine boat covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the BV2 boat vent available in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BV2 Boat Vent II is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Boat Vent II made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from UV-inhibited plastic, which resists degradation from sun exposure, saltwater conditions, and extreme weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install the BV2 Boat Vent II?\u003c\/strong\u003e No special tools are required; the vent is pulled apart and fitted into the boat cover using the same installation method as before, even with the updated washer assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the lower washer on the Boat Vent II now assembled upside-down?\u003c\/strong\u003e Vico Plastics changed the BV2 assembly so the lower washer sits upside-down, which allows the vent to be pulled apart much more quickly and easily than the prior version, while the cover installation steps stay the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Boat Vent II water resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the BV2 carries a water-resistant rating and is built to withstand rain and saltwater conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the BV2 boat vent?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boat Vent II measures 4 x 4 x 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Boat Vent II weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BV2 Boat Vent II weighs 0.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Boat Vent II (BV2) and Boat Vent III (BV3)?\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Vent III is an improvement on the BV2, offering 40% more venting, an overhanging top that lets in less moisture, 30 teeth on the washer for a better grip, and an ergonomic reversible nut for easier installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Boat Vent II come with a support pole?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the BV2 vent does not include a support pole; a cam-lock support pole is sold separately and can be paired with the vent to help prevent water pooling on the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Boat Vent II made in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Boat Vent II is made in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vico Plastics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49029701894363,"sku":"V-P-BV2","price":9.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/V-P-BV2_lg__96205.1558135187.500.750.jpg?v=1785165878","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/vico-plastics-boat-vent-ii-boat-cover-vent-black-uv-inhibited-plastic","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
