interested in installing a set of the billet bilge vent covers on my 32. purchased a set from billet proof whom sells them on ebay. it seems thick when you mount them against the boat. they are 1/8 inch thick without a beveled edge around it. iam curious as to how the factory fountain covers look, whether they are thinner or have a beveled edge to them. if anyone could post a close up pic i would greatly appreciate it. thank you

I put some on mine, and yes they are thick - really too thick in my opinion. However, I have left them on. They don't look bad - and I'm probably the only one that notices that they are too thick. They also are not as highly polished as the factory Fountain slotted bilge vents.
I believe it will slow down any rush of water into the vents when coming off plane (that was my reason for purchasing, anyway).

Yes those are the vents ism interested in the ones on ebay look thick and out of place when on the boat. How thick are they and is the outer edge beveled? Called fountain and they told me they are no longer available.
