Many times because of deck camber or other considerations they must be custom built

A classic design for oceanic boats has the box hinged at one end so that you can open up to clean or to plug the standpipe for heavy weather

Good idea to look thru catalogues … like VETUS , to see what is available

Yep, Vetus has their own design for their cowls:
