I simply plug a Nicro solar vent into each of Honey's dorade boxes with one pulling air in and the other set to exhaust. This arrangement works well in our semi tropical environment. You must remember to put a cork if the weep hole on each box. This has worked well for the past 15+ years although it seems to me that the old batteries used last much longer than they do now.
Considered placing these units in the hatch for the head & main salon but the thought of cutting holes in the Lexan hatch lenses just didn't make a lot of sense to me.
