[C320-list] Vent cowls on boat stern

[Bruce Stanley]

Mike
just found out the PERKO VENT COWLS 1312 carry  a 5 year Warranty.
Our Australian Agent ignored this (maybe he did not know .... mmmm ?????)
so I too have spent $88 replacing them! when a responsible Catalina Agent
would have provided a service for same.
(we Owners need to provide Perko with a receipt ... which is why we cannot
individually make a claim)
Thanks Norm A.
