Broken Exhaust Vent Covers on 4600 Deck

[MasVino]

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to replace a broken vent cover on the port side of the deck. I would like to get 2 so that when the other breaks, I have a second. I have had limited success in finding a source for them. US Marine parts list cross references the original part but no luck. If anyone has any advice as to where they have found parts I would love the reccomendation

Best of luck is all I can say.

Are they fiberglass or plastic?

Either way you'll probably need to find a shop that can custom make them.

MasVino, I understand if you want the originals but can you take the broken one off and get two that match as close as possible. I've replaced lights etc which I couldn't get for a more modern design and/or performance. I believe I read somewhere about installing solar vents to create a constant trickle extraction.

Is this what you are looking for? West Marine has it. I just replaced mine, both sides.

"constant trickle extraction"

Please explain. No clue what that means.

They have a solar cell on the outside and small fan built in, essentially they are mechanically extracting air as long as there is sunlight.

I think I read it it on a post about a smell from pipes in the toilet, personally I'd just change the pipes but if your boat is in a hot humid location I can see the advantage of having a small constant air flow.

Mine just cracked on my 3700, thanks for the post!

Didn't realize 3700 also shares the same vent.

We are lucky to have many parts still available/compatible on the market for our boats. Even though Maxum brand is gone, to me, it is one of the great reasons to buy/own a boat made by a boat company who's parent company was Brunswick.
