Seachoice 16101 Chrome-Plated Brass Clam Shell Vent
The Seachoice 16101 is a compact chrome-plated brass clam shell vent designed for hull-side or deck ventilation on boats. The hinged clamshell cover opens to allow airflow into engine compartments, bilge spaces, and lockers while closing to deflect water and spray when underway. Chrome-plated brass construction provides a polished, traditional marine finish with solid corrosion resistance, and the pre-drilled mounting holes make installation straightforward. The compact 1-5/16" x 1-1/2" footprint suits tight installation areas, and the fitting can also serve as a low-profile cover for cable, wire, or pipe pass-throughs.

Parts Desk Insights
The 16101 is the chrome-plated brass option for customers who want a traditional polished marine look rather than the brushed finish of stainless steel — it suits classic powerboats and sailboats where chrome hardware is the norm. The compact size makes it a good fit for tight hull areas where a larger vent won’t work. For a slightly larger chrome brass vent with more airflow, the Seachoice Chrome Brass Clam Shell Vent (2" x 2-3/32") is the next size up. If stainless steel is preferred, the Seachoice 16141 Stainless Steel Clam Shell Vent (1-21/32" x 1-3/4") is a similar compact size.
