Vico Plastics Ventilation Parts & Accessories

Vico Plastics Ventilation Parts & Accessories

Vico Plastics, operating under its well-known Vico Marine brand, has spent over three decades engineering ventilation solutions purpose-built for the demands of marine storage and cover protection. While the brand is rooted in precision plastic injection molding, its identity in the marine aftermarket is defined by one core mission: keeping boats dry, protected, and properly ventilated during storage. Their Ventilation Parts & Accessories reflect that focus completely.

Purpose-Built Marine Ventilation

Improper ventilation under a boat cover is one of the most overlooked causes of interior damage. Trapped heat and moisture create the ideal environment for mold, mildew, and material degradation — attacking upholstery, carpet, electronics, and hull finishes alike. Vico Plastics addresses this with a lineup of dedicated boat vents and complementary accessories engineered to promote continuous airflow even during long-term storage or harsh weather.

Their flagship Boat Vent series — including the Boat Vent II and Boat Vent 3 — are among the most recognized ventilation accessories in the marine industry. These vents are designed not just to allow airflow, but to simultaneously support the cover itself, acting as both a vent and a tenting device. This dual function helps shed rainwater naturally and prevents cover sagging or pooling.

What Sets Vico Plastics Apart

Vico Plastics manufactures its ventilation products from UV-inhibited polymers specifically formulated to resist the punishing effects of sun exposure, saltwater spray, and temperature extremes. Unlike sewn-in vents that can cause cover tears under heavy snow or rain loads, Vico's molded plastic vents are engineered to maintain structural integrity under pressure. Their Boat Vent Shrink variant goes a step further, featuring sharp teeth designed to pierce shrink wrap quickly — making it one of the fastest shrink-wrap vents on the market for professional and DIY winterization alike.

Complementing the vents is a range of accessories including circle cutters for clean, precise installation holes, adjustable aluminum support poles with patented flip-lock mechanisms, and swivel pole bases that protect deck surfaces from scuffing. Every component in the Vico system is designed to work together seamlessly, giving boaters a complete, integrated ventilation and cover-support solution.

American-Made Craftsmanship

Vico Plastics is headquartered in Janesville, Wisconsin, and takes pride in its American manufacturing roots. The combination of in-house injection molding expertise and decades of marine-specific product development means each ventilation component is held to a consistent standard of durability and fitment — whether it's installed on a bass boat in Minnesota or a center console in Florida.
