This info is great. We measured the head compartment and the airhead unit would fit. Just. Our biggest concerns are where to locate the vent and how to deal with the 24/7 need for electricity. How did you guys deal with these issues? SLY has no anchor locker in which to lead the vent nor shore power to support 24/7 electrical consumption. A solar panel might work but here in the northwest we see precious little sun in the winter. And we are concerned that a deck led vent would allow water intrusion in rough weather. Thoughts? Thanks again. Dave. SLY 1975 C&C 33
