Vico Plastics Boat Vent III Boat Cover Vent, UV-Resistant Plastic, Universal Fit

The Vico Plastics Boat Vent III is a boat cover vent designed to reduce moisture buildup and prevent mildew and mold under a covered boat. It is molded from a highly UV-inhibited plastic and can be installed into virtually any boat cover. Boat Vent III is an improvement on the earlier Boat Vent II, adding 40% more venting area, an overhanging top design that allows in less moisture, 30 teeth on the washer for a stronger grip on the cover fabric, and an ergonomic reversible nut that makes installation easier. The vent is assembled with the lower washer installed upside-down, which allows the vent to be pulled apart more quickly and easily than earlier versions while still installing into the cover the same way as before. This design helps keep air circulating under a boat cover during storage, reducing trapped humidity that can lead to mildew, mold, and musty odors. Boat Vent III is a simple, low-cost way to protect a covered boat's interior and upholstery between uses.
