FAQs
Are these vents suitable for use on saltwater vessels?
Yes, they are made from 316-grade stainless steel, which is specifically designed for high corrosion resistance in marine and saltwater environments.
Are mounting screws included in the package?
No, the package includes two vents, but users must source their own mounting screws appropriate for the material they are attaching the vents to.
Can these be painted?
While the mirror finish is intended to be exposed, they can be painted if properly primed with a high-quality metal primer; however, paint may peel over time in marine conditions.
What is the exact size of each grill?
Each grill measures 127mm in width by 65mm in height.
Can the louvres be opened or closed?
No, these are fixed-position louvre grills designed for constant, unrestricted airflow.
Troubleshooting
Surface oxidation or tea staining
Clean the surface with a dedicated stainless steel passivating agent or a mild polish to restore the protective layer.
Vibration or rattling in high wind
Ensure all four mounting screws are tightened uniformly and consider using a thin rubber gasket behind the frame to dampen movement.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the integrated 4mm mounting holes. To achieve the best seal, it is recommended to use marine-grade sealant behind the grill if mounting on surfaces exposed to heavy rain or water splashes. Ensure that you use matching 316 stainless steel screws to maintain galvanic compatibility and prevent rust. To keep the mirror finish looking its best, wipe the vents occasionally with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemical acids which can scratch or pit the polished surface.
