Cowl vents are one of the oldest types of vents found on a boat. They’re typically made of soft plastic, although some fancier boats might have ones made of stainless-steel or bronze. They work by taking air in passively—either from the outside wind flow or from the movement of the boat when it’s underway. Most modern cowl vents are the Dorade type, which allow air to flow belowdecks while keeping water  out.
