Our main hatch- mounted solar vent seems to be solar only and runs great when the sun is on it. I don't know how old it is but its not new and am not sure what make it is. Problem is it drips with any rain or spray. Maybe a drip or two per minute. Even when in the slip. I can't tell where the leak is coming from exactly other than the vent - somewhere. IDK if the water is coming through the vent or around the seam where it is mounted. Is it worth remounting or should I replace it with something newer? Do others see this problem?
