Need obsolete parts

[jema]

I need to find the vent covers for intake/exhaust on the side of my 1991 430 CPMY. They measure OD 17 1/4“ x 2 1/2” The inside (hole size) is 16” x 1 7/8”. There are 8 in total covering both sides. Any ideas where I might start looking. I’m in Canada.

Thank you. Those ones are a bit over-sized. I'm trying to avoid modifying the hole.

I believe this is it. Not 8 and located in usa. Although not cream....https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DCh ... g96BAgBECA

See these check on the specs listed. . 8 oems maybe impossible or costly to find. These are the same overall length and will fit in the oem cutouts with no mods. purchasing 8 to be new all around. https://www.go2marine.com/Sea-Dog-Louve ... OgQAvD_BwE

That looks like the ticket g36! I was going to suggest going to metal ones, the plastic ones fade and get brittle so fast.

Jema .....is there a name or part number on those old ones ?

I think most anything you find used or a salvage yard would probably need some sort of resto to them ( paint etc )

This might require some fitting to get the right look you are after.

The trick for the plastic ones is to paint them with high quality paint, they will never yellow and will last a lifetime since the plastic is now sealed from UV light which is what kills them over time. Did just that to a prior boat as they really were yellowed and looked pretty bad.
