Hi All,
Missing cowl/vent cover above forward cabin- previous owner just covered it with a Gatorade bottle.
The issue is the size is 2" in diameter. All the new cowl covers are 3" in diameter or larger.
Any recommendations - Catalina Direct only carries 3" diameter and above. ..Am thinking of gluing an
epoxy glass top to it till I figure out a solution.
Help appreciated in advance.
Thanks.

Replace entire unit with 3" vent... here's one for $20.99. Google "cowl vent for sailboats" for more choices
A 2" is pretty small for a vent anyway... the deck pump out pipe is 1.75". ….
So cover the existing hole with some plastic and wrap it with duct tape.. .. when you are ready to install.. you may need a hole saw if you need to enlarge, a little epoxy to seal the inside edge of the hole, and a good sealant. (NOT 5200 or Silicone.)
