I put one in my head this spring and it was perfect, just the correct depth to 
come to the inside ceiling on my 40

Has anyone installed a Nicro solar vent through the cabin roof over the head?  
Is the cabin roof cored?  About how thick?  I have an 1986 27-V.   Jerry.

I assume you took off the solar cell? That's how I access the motor and

Hi Nate, 

Sounds to me like one of the commutators in the motor is no longer getting 
current and that creates a dead spot.  I.E your motor is toast. 

You can try connecting a good AA battery directly to the motor if you want to 
test and know for  sure

Here's a good replacement if you or one of your friends is handy with a 
soldering iron:

You also need to shim it some for a perfect fit.  I found out about it on one 
of the cruisers forums, the guy reported excellent results.  It's a lot cheaper 
than a new vent.  I just received mine along with a special Eneloop battery I 
found on Amazon.  I'll report back when I install.

Subject: Stus-List solar vent wiggles, doesn't rotate

My Nicro 4" solar vent, maybe 4 years old, would not run this season.
I replaced the NI-MH C cell, left it switched off for a couple days to
charge in the sun, and turned it on - it wiggles back and forth a little,
but doesn't rotate - same as the with the old battery.

Ideas? solutions?

Thanks
