[Rhodes22-list] Just Venting

[Joe Camp]

Rummy et al:

I leaned toward the battery solution myself, having obtained expert advice from an old salt. (Well, he's fifty-nine, but I'm  still fifty-seven for another two weeks, so he's old.)  However, when I opened it up, I said, "where the hell is the battery access?"  Everything on the underside of the unit is sealed.  The only thing besides a fan and smooth plastic is the push-button switch. It was a Nicro no-go (ho ho).  Save me!

Battery. Replace the rechargeable battery.

Hi  All:

I got my boat (a recycled '87) from Stan last Summer.  He  graciously 
included a Nicro solar powered vent at the bow.  The vent has  now gotten some 
sort of bug up it's butt and will not work.  I've had it  apart, which reveals 
a sealed compartment for the motor and a push button  switch.  I can't find 
an option to open it further for trouble shooting.  I don't want to force 
the solar panel off of the base, but there is no  other way to get to the 
guts. If I spin the fan blade, it powers up (barely)  for about 3 - 4 
seconds... then craps out.  I can hear the motor going  (weakly) when the panels are 
turned to the sun.

Does anyone have advice  (or a cure) for my fan's ills?  Thanks.
