I have 3 of the 4" Marinco day/night vents installed on Imzadi, and will probably install a 4th one the next time that West Marine has them on sale for $99. One of the vents is in the hatch over the table in the main cabin, the other two replaced the dorade boxes and cowl vents over the head and the passage into the V berth. Two of the vents are set to bring air in, one is exhaust.
Last winter was the first year that I had no problem with mold or mildew on the teak, so I'm happy with the active ventilation. Dorades and cowl vents really only work when the wind is significant, and th e head of the boat stays into the wind. Very little airflow when the boat is in a slip and not pointing into the wind. Plus lines don't get caught on the powered dome vents and flip them into the ocean.

Have been contemplating better ventilating my 33-2. One option is to add a day and night vent in either cabin or both. Another is to do as the CS36 does, and that is to add a cowl vent to the anchor locker hatch and a grill/air passage between the locker and the foot of the v-berth. (Anchor locker functions as a dorade box, plus you get some air movement in the anchor locker) All the recent talk of lost cowl vents makes me think that dome vents would be preferred. Any thoughts on cabin ventilation? Any experience with latest nicro/Marino or vetus UFO vents, solar or passive? Many thanks!
