Vico Plastics

<h3>About Vico Plastics &amp; Vico Marine</h3><p><strong>Vico Plastics</strong>, operating its consumer-facing marine brand as <strong>Vico Marine</strong>, is a Wisconsin-based manufacturer with more than 30 years of experience crafting specialized marine accessories. Vico Marine, a division of Vico Plastics in Janesville, Wisconsin, has been a trusted name in the marine industry for more than 30 years. The company has been in the marine industry for over 30 years, with a goal from the beginning of creating high-quality products that are entirely new to the marine industry.</p><h3>A Specialist in Marine Venting &amp; Cover Systems</h3><p>Vico Plastics is a manufacturer of plastic and aluminum marine accessories, supplying boat cover support and venting systems to boat manufacturers, marine distributors, and canvas upholstery shops. Their product lineup centers on solving one of the most persistent problems for boat owners: moisture buildup under covers during storage. The purpose of the vent and pole is to exhaust moist air and heat without letting any rain or moisture in, which aids in preventing mildew, fungus, and harmful bacteria from growing rampant in unvented boat interiors.</p><p>At the heart of the Vico Plastics lineup are their iconic Clam Shell Vents — purpose-engineered to allow airflow through mooring covers, travel covers, and winter storage covers without admitting rain or snow. Vico Marine polycarbonate boat vents are built on original, patented designs that have proven themselves in the marine industry for decades; while many copycat products exist, none match the quality, fit, or consistency of genuine Vico Marine vents.</p><h3>Patented Designs &amp; Made-in-USA Craftsmanship</h3><p>With patented products like the Boat Vent II and Cam-Lock Support Poles, Vico Plastics offers cutting-edge ventilation solutions that prevent mildew, fungus, and bacteria growth in unvented boat interiors. Manufactured in the USA, these professional-grade vents feature a multi-piece, screw-together design for fast installation on virtually any cover — no sewing required. The Boat Vent 3, their updated flagship, delivers even greater performance: Vico Marine&apos;s Boat Vent 3 delivers approximately 40% more ventilation than the Boat Vent 2, dramatically improving airflow while still tenting the cover to prevent mold and mildew.</p><p>Vico Marine works directly with boat manufacturers, trim shops, canvas mills, and distributors to ensure every vent, support pole, and hardware component meets the highest standards of performance and craftsmanship. Their production follows ISO-compliant processes with rigorous quality checks at every stage, delivering consistency you can count on.</p><h3>Sustainability &amp; Environmental Responsibility</h3><p>Vico Plastics takes its responsibility to the marine environment seriously. They incorporate regrind material whenever possible, keeping plastic scrap out of landfills without ever compromising product performance or reliability. Their engineering team is also exploring advanced biodegradable and eco-conscious resin technologies for select applications, helping pave the way for more sustainable marine accessories in the future.</p><h3>Who Uses Vico Plastics Products?</h3><p>Vico products are trusted across the full spectrum of the marine industry. The company manufactures marine products including boat cover vents, shrink-wrap vents, mooring poles, and tie-down ratchets. Whether you&apos;re a weekend boater prepping for winter storage or a canvas shop outfitting dozens of boats per season, Vico&apos;s solutions are designed to be easy to install, long-lasting, and genuinely effective. With millions sold, the combination of Vico vents and support poles has become the standard for preventive care in the industry and is a must for all boat owners.</p>

This third-generation design provides roughly 40% more venting compared to previous models while effectively tenting your boat cover.

Key Features:

  • Molded from the highest UV inhibited plastic available for maximum durability and weather resistance
  • Features an overhanging top design to allow in less moisture
  • 30 teeth on the washer provide a better grip during installation
  • Ergonomic reversible nut for easy installation in under 15 seconds
  • Can be installed to virtually any boat cover
  • Measures 4.75" W x 4.75" D x 2.00" H for optimal ventilation performance
