Default tring to install fiberglass vent cover need help?

Tring to install fiberglass vent cover on a 342 baja. Anyone know how they did it! Need help? Im not sure what adhesive they used, but it was a hard type epoxie I think? but I cant find any thats white that will match the boat? did they gel over it? I dont think there was white caulk? when i got the boat the vent covers were already off? anyone on here have any first hand knowledge?

I agree. Probably 4200 or 5200.

Where did you end up finding the vents?

More pics on progress!

I had 2 baja 342's. One was a 2003 model, the other is a 2006. The 03 was striped and before i sold it last week i made a mold off of it. Turned out nice! I just came out of the paint booth from spraying gel coat on it!. I have been rebuilding this boat for over a year now! hoping to have it out on memorial weekend!!!
I was looking at the other 3m stuff and I was wondering about 3m 4000 ul?

It wasn't 4200 or 5200 they used. I can't recall off top of my head but it dries hard like epoxy.

It is a methacrylate adhesive called Plexus.

Jusy use 4200. It comes in white and will work nicely.
