New (old) Eclipse 196sc. Need some help.

[xavierg]

I just purchased a 1995 Eclipse 196sc (5.0Fi SX) - pic attached. It is in very good condition, but has a few minor cosmetic issues -

1) The small plastic louvered vents(?) (indicated by yellow arrow on photo) are cracked and need to be replaced. What exactly are these for and what are they called. I've searched online parts sites and have yet to find these.

2) Where can I get boat pin-striping to replace the cracking pinstripes on this boat? Will automobile pin-striping hold up on a boat?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi xavierg,

I have a 1995 196S Eclipse. The grill you point out is the horn cover. Mine was also cracked and I replaced it for $15 from here...

It is a little larger than the original, but it had the required 4" centered mounting holes that were a little difficult to find.

Cheers,

Dave
