Premium Construction and Features
These cowl ventilators are made of silicone. Silicone rubber is a very flexible synthetic material with a service temperature range between -100ºC and +200ºC. It is resistant to UV light and does not discolour, so it will always looks like it’s brand new. The cowl ventilators are removable and can be rotated after loosening the knurled base ring by hand. The ring nuts and mating deck flanges are made of hard plastic and the internal colour is red (RAL3020). A Monel mosquito screen and a stainless steel (AISI 316) cover plate for closing off the cowl ventilator can be supplied as an option. Type S has a screwed down synthetic ring.
This intelligent design allows for effortless adjustment and maintenance. You can easily rotate the cowl to catch the prevailing wind for maximum ventilation or turn it away to reduce airflow. The ability to completely remove the cowl from its base makes cleaning a simple and quick task. Furthermore, the optional mosquito screen provides an effective barrier against insects, while the stainless steel cover plate allows you to completely seal the vent opening when required, ensuring your cabin remains secure and dry during heavy weather or for winter storage.
