Stus-List Marinco solar vent motor
Hi Dennis, I replaced mine about 4 years ago, it's still running 24/7 * 12 months a year. I also replaced the NiMH battery at the same time, I used an Eneloop "C" size, don't think those are still available. They sell a "C" adapter for their AA battery or you can just buy a regular NiMH "C" or sub "C" cell At the time, I looked everywhere for higher quality motor but couldn't find it, so I bought a $2.00 motor. I believe this is what I used: https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/motor-electric-dc-0-5-6-volt/ I had to do some minor mods to it: If I remember right I wrapped a couple layers of tape around it to insure a tight fit in the housing as the diameter is slightly smaller than the Marinco original motor and I also used small zip ties to help secure the original impeller to the shaft. Beyond that, it's a simple matter of soldering the small capacitor and leads as per the original. I can check for you / take pictures when I go to my boat which should be tomorrow or Wednesday.

Re: Stus-List Marinco solar vent motor
Been through some pretty intense stuff and never had any water enter through the solar vent. Touche's vent is forward of the mast also. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Marinco solar vent motor
I just purchased that vent as well. Do you know if very heavy spray will find its way down that vent and it will have to be buttoned up inside? Thinking of having it before the mast. Just did a lake race and ended up with a ton of water in the V-Berth Because I didn't dog the hatch down all they way.

Re: Stus-List Marinco solar vent motor
Saw that one. Hobby Lobby also has one. Need to measure the shaft diameter. Vendors for these small motors aren’t forthcoming with specs and dimensions. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Marinco solar vent motor
This looks a lot like the motor in my Nicro vent, it would depend on the shaft size which isn't listed. https://www.amazon.com/Small-Electric-slower-Stevens-International/dp/B00TL4FMCC Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On Sat, 10 Aug 2019 at 13:20, Dennis C. via CnC-List wrote: > Touché’s Marinco/Nicro model 20703 3 inch solar vent motor died.
