WTB- SSV-168 Louvered Engine Vent
« on: October 26, 2012, 10:23:02 AM »
Thinking about picking up a cheap local project but its missing the rear cover. I think the X16 shares the same part too. It's the Black Louvered vent behind the engine cover. I don't want to jump on it unless I can find the vent. Anyone know of any at any junkyards or have one lying around in the parts bin?

Thanks.

I could steal the one off my dads '86 X16D, how bad do you want it?......LOL

Seriously though that vent is unique to that boat AFAIK so finding one for sale or a parts boat with one will be tough but not impossible.

You think I could get some detailed pictures and measurements? I'm guessing I could mold something pretty close. The project boat is $50...I'm thinking drop in a junkyard sbc and I'll have a nice little beater!

I could get you some detailed pictures and measurements but it might be next spring if you can wait that long. The boat is about a 4 hour round trip for me and he has already closed down his cabin for the season which is where the boat is.  So he won't be back up there until next year.

Let me know. That would be a fun boat with a V8 stuck back there.

If it's this, I know I have seen these pop up on ebay before. Buy the boat, you will find one if you keep yours eyes open.

That's the piece he's talking about Jason. I remember a couple of years ago some guy in Elk River had one for sale on CL.
