I need to re-Vent.....

UPDATE 02-04-2012 : Got over to the boat and ripped this old f--king thing off. The existing hole is 5/8" oversized compared to the new unit (3 3/8"). This should be ok as the new mounting holes are far enough outward from the existing thru-hole to provide enough grab for the new unit.

..... Literally


The current vent is a constant leaking point (second only to the cockpit seat hole), non-functional and completely worn out. Since ownership, Santeria has always been a damp boat. I'm hoping that this addition will improve the airflow through the cabin and reduce the mustiness.

The improvement:

Solar charged, Li-ion battery powered, on sale at Rigging Shoppe for 89.99 + tax

SS outer shell, sealed solar panel and battery

View from the inside. 3 1/2" hole required
