Lorne, the Lewmar hatches have a "vent mode", you can close them partially and
lock them that way as well. In vent mode you will have just a bit under a 1/2''
gap, no water gets in unless its raining sideways!

Subject: Stus-List Vent recommendations 30MkII
The 1988 C&C 30MkII has 4 opening Lewmar hatches; two in the cabin, one in 1/4
berth, and one in the bathroom. My boat is 2000 miles away and cannot verify
it though. I just bought it.I would like to install solar vents to move air
and control humidity.Where should I put them? Here are my thoughts.One in the
bathroom due to showers and higher water use. One in the /14 berth to keep the
temps cool and fresh air supply. And, finally one in the cabin. I think I
need to avoid the large port over the V-berth due to water intrusion while
sailing to weather, noise over the berth while sleeping, and finally, perhaps I
might on occasion cover the port for darkness while sleeping and the vent would
be covered.Anyone know what size vent is needed as I don't know the Lewmar
hatch dimensions or material (Plexiglas?).Anyone have a better recommendation
on the quantity and locations?Thanks.
