All,
I second Jim Watts’ recommendation of a Day/Night Solar Vent. Though I
haven’t used them myself on the Enterprise, I’ve heard of others having great
results with them.
The one caveat I’ve heard, in order to really get the benefit, is that
you should install two; one towards the front of the boat pulling air in and
another towords the back blowing air out. This will create an air flow that
will keep the boat fresh.
I’m going to do it one of these days, though I’m not sure if I can
bring myself to drill holes in the deck.
All the best,
Edd
