I went aboard my boat(Scrooge) after it was closed up for 9 days and found mold on my cabin grab rails.This caused me to think about putting in 2 or 4 cowl vents into my boat for increased air circulation. Can anyone tell me if this would signifcantly help reduce air stagnation while the boat is shut up? Or is there a better solution?? I am still a novice at all this keelboat stuff. So any advice would be helpfull.

solar power vent

Hello, I installed a solar powered vent in the main hatch in my boat. The solar cell powers batteries, so it runs 24 hours a day. It was very easy to install and I think it makes a big difference. The vent I used was a Nicro. Barry

Try the Nicro website

or any West Marine or Boat US catalog. Look under ventilation. Basic stuff well explained. One of the easiest ways to learn this stuff is to get a BIG catalog and READ it. WM has all sorts of Advisors. If you're a guy, leave it in the head (at HOME) and read to your hart's content. Stu
