I bought my Cafe Racer a couple of years ago, but don’t get to use it much each year. I had a survey done the other day and the guy pointed out that the blower for the bilge was not connected to the vents in the hatch. The vents are made by Butler as is shown in this picture. I’ve searched the various marine places and can’t find them. Does anyone know where I can get new ones? They are all cracked and broken on the inside so the round part where the blower tube would attach isn’t intact. Thanks

Not sure if these are the exact same NACA duct painted white on your boat... if not, they may be able to be cut down and grafted / epoxied onto the back your existing ducts to reconstruct the section where the blower hose attaches.
