I'm looking for some blower vent covers for my 1998 370 SD. Need starboard but would like both.

The covers are made of plastic and can not be repaired by glass. My had a crack and I was able to repair it with plastic mending kit that I bought out of Canada.

The name to the company is "Plastex Canada".I am not talking about repairing them, but rather using them to make molds to cast fiberglass replacements. Can you post a link to the product you bought to repair the OEM cover?

I'm the guy Jon referred to on making the replacement covers. I wound up having 2 pair made. One for me, and one for Jon for loaning me his Stbd cover. If you do undertake this, know that it is more difficult than it sounds. The plastic is very subject to melting when the resin is kicking. I tried drumming up some interest in getting multiple sets made to get the cost down (these wound up about 400.00 a pair), but no one bit. I have since lost contact with the guy who has the molds, but could probably dig him up if needed.
Meanwhile, I found a new purpose for the "void" left by removing the cover. After a lot of thought, I found the perfect covers for the exhaust vents, at West Marine, for about 12.00 each. Bent the vents around a piling, which gave me the right curve for the hull. I then had the flat part covered in non skid, and painted to match the hull. These boarding steps have served me very well for some 7 years now.
