[Rhodes22-list] boat ventilation

[Blue Heron]

IMO, the scope is just for ventillating the anchor locker.  Since it is
prone to collecting water from waves and wind blown rain, I only use the
scope when my ground tackle is wet.  Otherwise, I use a plastic cap to close
the opening.

If you're not going to use the locker, a solar vent may make sense.  But
realize, neither the scope nor a solar vent is going to provide
ventillation during a hot, still night.

I've never seen a solar vent that is removeable, but if you know of one, who
sells it?
