Seachoice 16131 Chrome-Plated Brass Clam Shell Vent
The Seachoice 16131 is a mid-size 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. At 2" x 2-3/32", it provides a larger opening than the compact 16101 model for improved airflow or a bigger cable, wire, or pipe pass-through. Chrome-plated brass construction delivers a polished, traditional marine finish with solid corrosion resistance, and pre-drilled mounting holes make installation straightforward.

Parts Desk Insights
The 16131 is the step up from the Seachoice 16101 (1-5/16" x 1-1/2", Chrome Brass) when a customer needs more airflow or a slightly larger opening for a hose or cable bundle, while keeping the polished chrome look. It’s the most popular chrome brass size for standard engine compartment and bilge venting on mid-size powerboats. For the largest chrome brass option in the range, the Seachoice Clam Shell Vent (3-3/4" x 3-3/4", Stainless Steel) is the biggest vent we carry — though in stainless rather than chrome. If stainless steel is preferred in a similar mid-size, the Seachoice 16151 Stainless Steel Clam Shell Vent (2-5/32" x 2-1/8") is the closest match.
