Clam Shell Ventilator

The Perko Clam Shell Ventilator plays a vital role in protecting vents from water and debris, ensuring that your boat remains well-ventilated and free from potential hazards like fuel fumes and moisture buildup.

The Perko Clam Shell Ventilator is designed to shield vent openings from water spray and debris, making it an ideal solution for boats that frequently encounter rough seas. These vents are typically used to protect outlets for bilge blowers and can be installed on vertical surfaces for optimal performance. Although they are not meant to be connected to hoses, they provide effective splash protection, which is essential for maintaining dry and functional through-hull openings.

Key Features

• Material and Construction: While the specific model 0339DP0CHR is listed as chrome-plated, it's important to note that Perko has shifted towards stainless steel for many of their products. However, the chrome-plated option may still be available for certain models.
• Installation and Use: Clamshell vents are relatively easy to install, requiring only a round hole cut with a hole saw. They are best suited for vertical surfaces and serve as a protective hood against rain and spray.
