I think it's a pretty cool idea and great for warm days. Mine has a plate over it, which is smart. Does anyone know where I can source the "scoop" for that one. It would be nice to have in the summer while at the dock and on anchor. I have the scoops for the forward dorade vents.

If you do find the "scoop", just remember to cap that opening before sailing or washing the deck, unless you enjoy a damp quarter berth. Ask me how I know.
I used these to replace the stern vents and dorade vents, but I haven't replaced the quarter birth vent yet:
I like they way they look and the work well. They aren't as nice as Vetus units because they rely on a set screw against the thread instead of a friction collar. Either way, you will probably have to drill out new screw holes, but that isn't a too big of a problem.

I've never successfully unclogged that box drain. Tried several different ways and got bubkes each time. I assume the previous owners ignored it for years. So I have the hose valve closed, and if I do manage to get water in that box, just suck it out with my handheld shop vac. Ours came with a cowl that fits, but I only use it when at anchor/dock.None of my cowls fit that particular thread. But the deck fitting can always be changed.
