I'd like to improve the ventilation in my 1982 Catalina 30. Can anyone recommend a good deck spot to install a Nicro Solar Vent? Thanks, Wes

Cabin Top Hatch

I installed mine in the cabin top vent hatch behind the mast. It was an easy installation to make as the plastic hatch is easy to cut, is centrally located, and does not leak. And any leaking that may occur would not seep into the wood deck material. The hatch will still open with the vent in place. Check the size; Nicro offers a couple of them.

vent

Last season I replaced my solar vent which was installed in the forward hatch of my 1983 Catalina 30. It was the older type without the battery and was not repairable. The new one works great and I think the forward hatch is the best spot.

Hatch

Have to agree that the hatch is the easiest place to install it & promises the fewest potential problems (re: leaks, etc). LaDonna

Thank You!

Thanks for all the great feedback! I am going to install the vent this weekend in the central hatch. Wes
