[Rhodes22-list] Nicro Vent

[Roger K. Pihlaja]

Joe,

Dynamic Equilibrium has one 4" Nicro Solar Powered Vent on top of the cabin
above the head.  It operates in exhaust mode.  It helps alot.  If you can
afford the price difference, get the stainless steel model vs. the plastic.
They're alot more rugged.

Before you install one on the bow, you should be aware that they do not shed
off green water very efficiently.  Even on the cabin top, in heavy weather,
we must remove it & plug the opening or we will have massive leaks down
below.  I would imagine an installation on the bow would be even worse for
taking on water.
