I've been searching around for these blower vent covers but can't find a generic replacement. Is there such a thing? or am I using the incorrect terminology in my searches? I called a local dealer and was told I would be called back, so I figured checking here wouldn't hurt either. Here's some pics.

They look like they may be custom cover/inserts for your specific boat. Try googling the manufacturer and then e-mail them. Depending on who they are, there may be a surplus dealer that has their old parts.

Furnish a name, model and year and may be someone here can help. Perhaps a salvage yard?

You might have to substitute/modify something else. For example, that cover looks a lot like a radio speaker grille...

First, don't panic if you can't find that part. They most closely resemble what I would call 'grilles'.

If you strike out, any number of items can be used.

Without more than 30 seconds of thinking, if pressed to answer about a substitute, I would suggest a small hatch cover with holes drilled in it.

Someone can chime in, but there are marine supply companies that make all sorts of hatch covers, grilles and other related items. I can't find their names/links.
