Anchor locker drain cover

HeidiHeidi

I've asked this before, and had it answered (I suspect by Fergal, as usual!), but can't for the life of me find the answer.

I'm looking for a cover for the anchor locker drain on our boat, a kind of a half-moon shaped cover that sticks on over the hole.

I vaguely remember the answer involving EC Smith in the UK, and/or somewhere in Naas, but I can't find anything on the EC Smith site and can't remember the name of the Naas place (if it even was there).

If anyone remembers answering me last time (about 1.5 years ago), or knows what I'm on about, I'd be very grateful for the info again

I don't remember the post and can't seen to find it, can you tell me a bit more about the part your looking for.

is it something like this.

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm after

I eventually found a couple of emails I sent to EC Smith about it, and it was him who told me to try Naas. However I was in Viking in DL earlier anyway and he's on the hunt for them for me (don't know why I didn't just try them in the first place :P)

Anyway, ta for the help, prompt as always!

They are also used to cover cables holes and are quite common, Marineparts have them and I sure chmarine would also have them if you don't get them from viking.

Cheers, that's great

Any idea what they're actually called??? Anchor-locker-drain-cover-thingy doesn't yield much in the way of google results (not surprisingly!).

I would call clam shell ventilators or hole covers a bit like these http://www.sheridanmarine.com/product/stainless-steel-clam-shell-ventilator I can't find them in marineparts but they are there as I was playing with them the other day
