Engine Cover Vent

Nice fab work.

Guys keep in mind the 91-94 boats have a different mounting than this style. I want to research it more. It may require drilling. I'm interested but am going to look at my style vs yours.

Interesting. I would not have suspected they changed the mounting configuration. Keep the thread posted of your research please.

I might can be of service. I've just cut out and fabbed up a few of these for people on here. Problem is, some are different than others. The ones (and i did both) that I personally have, the sides on the bottom piece and the top piece are the same width. But on some of the others, the sides taper in about 1 1/2". see below pics and tell me which one yours looks like. Then we can take it from there.
The top pic is my original.
2nd pic is original one rebuilt using plywood. Notice the piece of the top part. That piece will be covered in vinyl and have embroidered 'MASTERCRAFT" on it. It mounts from the backside.
3rd pic is almost complete without the insert added yet.
4th pic is the one where the sides taper in a bit. It also does not have any screw holes in the top part, as mine does. It may have been screwed in from the backside. I don't know.

looks great Eddie, I would love to see it after the MC embroidery is complete!

Yes mine has the taper...

Here is an almost completed unit. I still gotta sand it down, get the pencil marks off, sand & seal, then urethane it. I took a damp rag and wet this one down to give a finished effect. Looking pretty damn good if I do say so Myself. Built 4 of these Suckers today.
Tomorrow I will finish sand, sand & seal, then urethane 3 coats with Satin finish.

I'll put my order in while you're in the mood, right now. The replacemnt plastic is not available, so this will work very well for my machine's engine cover. Nice looking work SkiDog. I especially like the vent cover. Please put me on your list.
