I found that the reason my nicro vent failed was the rechargeable battery died. Replacing the battery fixed the problem, but even removing the battery resulted in the vent fan running when sunlight hit it. The dead battery sucked up all the solar energy. Bruce Whitmore 1994 37/40+

Hi Brian I replaced my forward hatch with a stainless ManShip hatch, I'd done the same on an earlier boat so I knew I'd be happy with it. Also changed the mid cabin hatch. My boat came with a mushroom vent in the head, slightly ahead of the overhead light. I replaced that with a Nico solar vent, and have since replaced the vent - they seem to have a life of a few years, I can live with that. I appreciate it exhausting air from the head, helps the air movement greatly. I did dig out the balsa and re-fill with epoxy - the previous owner just cut the hole and dropped the vent in. Pics available on request, what's your email?

Have any 35-3 owners put their solar vent fan through the deck, possibly into the head and do you have pictures? I’m considering moving mine since I’d like more natural light coming in the v-berth. In addition all my hatches have the spider cracks in them has anyone replaced their acrylic with Plexi, sent their hatches to Select Plastics in Norwalk, CT to be refurbed or replaced them all together with Bomar or Lewmar hatches? I’m interested in everyone’s opinions and experience.
