[Rhodes22-list] boat ventilation

[Alan Robertson]

If the scoop is still made of vinyl rubber and forced-fitted into the foredeck hole, better ask Stan about leakage when it rains or you get a wave over it. Ours leaked from the beginning and we have not used it since '84. When sleeping out on a very hot night with  screened side windows of the dodger wide open, we occasionally use a 12 volt plug in fan we got from West Marine's predecessor years ago.

  I have found a number of discussions about the anchor locker with the bow
  vent scoop and see some have replaced the scoop with a solar vent.  Is the
  scoop and solar vent easily interchangable?  It might be nice to have the
  scoop while sailing and overnighting but to have the fan  installed while
  the boat is at the slip.  Do many Rhodies like having a cabin fan?  What
  size and were do you mount it?  Stan is finishing up my boat and these are a
  couple of items I might want to consider in order to have a clean factory
  installation.
