    That's the first time I've seen a vent on the back of the port side seat.  Normally that's a storage cubby.  I was able to replace mine on Great Lakes Skipper.

    I agree, that is very interesting.  Is that vent connected to a hose that leads to a cockpit AC?  Not sure why a vent would be in that location.

    Well if the storage cubby was broken that might cover the hole pretty well.  I added a small (3 inch round) vent below the seat to help keep that area dry.  Might work for that.

    They are out now, but this is what I ordered from them:

    @Stodge I was wondering who would spot that the original piece was shot I could have replaced it but had another problem my sub encloser is under the seat and the sound would not escape so I removed that draw and put a vent to let sound out plus I didn't have to make another hole for the port it kind of worked out and sounds amazing

    Interesting.  My sub is mounted near the floor on the the starboard side near the helm.  Wonder if you have 2.  It would give you some serious thump if it did.  :)

    @GMSLITHO yep that's what I'm afraid of but it's the same tape I use in my paint booth the tape works great with the heat and moisture but I'm not to sure about being saturated keeping my fingers crossed
