That’s what I did (two vents on small hatches). If I get down to the boat this weekend, I’ll send a photo.

The certainly do not appear on our 1994 37+. That being said, with 1 large forward hatch, 4 small hatches aft and the ports into the cockpit, I've been wondering how to get active ventilation when we are off the boat. It seems like a few Nicro vents, installed through the smaller hatches would be the logical approach. That said, as we are new to Florida, I'm not sure what people down here are doing, since the boats need to be air conditioned at the dock in summer! Thoughts anyone?

I'd set one to blow in and one to suck out. My thought is that this arrangement would draw air across the cabin for better circulation. I'm in agreement, I don't want to cut into the acrylic lenses. Well for that matter I don't want to cut into the deck. I guess that's part of the reason I've never installed vents. I don't know if the PO installed dorad vents under the helmsmans hump of if they are original equipment. I've considered running 12v vent fans and duct work to make them more effective. I could power them from the main battery which is kept topped up with 200w solar panels. I would use a low voltage shutoff to only run the fans when the voltage is greater than 12.7v (when the batteries are being charged). The 12v fans are much cheaper than the solar ones and I wouldn't have to cut holes in the hatches or lenses.

And if, so, where? There don’t seem to be a whole lot of options giving the deck and interior configurations. I’d prefer not to cut a hole into my forward hatch (or any other hatch) Any photos would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Edd Edd M.
