Default Hatch inlet covers

Where do I find the inlet insert for the hatch scoop? You know that little cover that closes the inlet side of the scoop. The one that I see sy remove before light. I looking for a plain one. Who sells them and what are they called. Thanks

I made some of my own. What I used was one of the So-Pac (maybe an old trade name) flat closed cell foam yacht fenders from west marine. They cut fine on a bandsaw, and I angled the deck to put a bit of taper on them. Then you can stuff it into the hole, and it sticks. The outer skins are very durable. These might be overkill, but I was able to easily cut plugs for both scoops, and still have a half-size useable fender left. I thin the list price on the fender was like $70 but they accidentally sold it to me for $40; must have confused the size.
