    Recommended air filters for engine compartment

    I have a 1979 53’ Convertible. I want to replace the old screens for the vents in the engine room that keep out salt spray and dirt. Any recommendations on what to use to replace the old screens?

    If your a millionaire look at DeltaT systems.

    Our vents don't have screens. Can you post some pictures of what you have in there today?

    The screens on the ceiling in the engine compartment are just old window screens.

    Call Sam’s, I got some stuff from them to put over the air intake boxes that they say will keep out spray and let air in, so far so good, I’ve had mine for about 6 months now more night tech than just screen material. John

    Rusty, I can’t remember but I don’t think so and I got enough to do at least 2 boats . Just looked it up 30” x 174” for $54.00. John
