Hi Ken, Dan, Jim, & all,
I looked at the Defender site, and wonder why the Nicro vents are
worth twice the price of the Sunforce? Any one used or know both, and
can explain it? Which ones are you using, and can you close them
off, or if you get real water over the boat, will it just flood in.
While I live in Seattle, and expect to deal with rain, we also have
water over the boat occasionally. All you have to do is be in a good
current rip, wind against tide, and stuff the standing waves. Once
Kathleen said "I'm just going straight into this one", and dropped us
into the big hole behind a freighter. I was moving up for a pic,
stepped up to the coach house, grabbed the boom and kept my feet dry,
as water poured into the cockpit. "Well I don't need to do that
again!" was her next comment. The cowl vents, even pointing back,
leaked. So I'm looking for waterproof, closeable vents. Suggestions?
Thanks, Lee
As Doug mentioned the usual thing is a Dorade Box. These are
usually wooden boxes but there are plastic one available too like

In another reply Jim Watts recommended a Day/night solar vent. This
is probably a better way to go as it will continue to move air even
when there is no wind. These from
