[Public-list] Solar Vent

[Dave Terrell]

I put a solar vent on the lazarette behind the tiller - I think it is a great idea - recommend it highly. It helps keep the bilge area free of any unwanted fumes, etc.

I put a Nicro Vent in the forward hatch. It is a great help in controlling
temp and moisture in the cabin.
I am thinking of putting a second solar powered vent in to the lazaret hatch
behind the tiller. The vents come with 2 fans you can either install the one
that pulls the air out or the one that pulls fresh air in. 
I thought that if I had the forward fan pulling air in and the one in the
stern pull it out it would help the entire boat. I would need to keep the
engine compartment slide cracked to allow air flow.

Any thoughts??

Mike,

Sounds like a great trip, particularly if your weather in The Bay was as
good as it was here in Pittsburgh last weekend.  I don't have experience
with Nicro solar vents but do have a spare original (1966) head cowl vent if
you are interested in replacing yours in kind.  I also have one for the bow
as well.
