[Rhodes22-list] Vent Fan

[Wickman, William E]

I don't have one and have never felt a need for one but it probably depends on where you live.  There is already a fair amount of air that vents into the cabin around the pop top.  That said, I know of several folks that have installed a Nicro vent on the bow deck where the cowling/anchor locker hole is located.  It is about the right sized opening that already exists so you wouldn't have to cut a new hole.  I wouldn't think you would want to cut a hole in your pop top.

As a side note, I have never used the anchor tray and cowling/bow opening to store my anchor.  It is one of the few design features of the Rhodes22 that I don't like.  I found it difficult to put the rode back through that small hole; the wet rode would stink up the boat and add moisture to the cabin area; and when I sail the boat in heavy seas and wash the deck it creates an opening for sea water to pour into and then you have a tray full of water hanging and dripping into your V-berth.

Who has an experience installing a Nicro type vent fan in their boat?

Wondering if in the sliding cover of the pop top is the best place and let
it full air from the forward cowl?
