On the B361, there is a coachtop cabin vent. I'm wondering if anyone has replaced that with a solar powered vent since the hole is already there into the cabin.

Our last boat was a 361 and I looked into to doing the same thing. Unfortunately the size of the solar vents didn't match the opening. Instead I installed a 3" Nicro solar vent in the foward hatch. It did a great job of pulling air through the dorade and hatch board vents. Only once did we get any sea water through the vent and it was a very small amount at that. BTW I used the 3" not the 4" since the larger model would have interfered with the latche handles.

I tried to do that on my 361, but the hole in the deck is not directly above the hole in the inside cabin so it wouldn't install correctly.
