Ron, I’ve only had them leak during a very heavy downpour. You need to find out if the leak is coming through the vent or around it. The solutions will be different. My aging Nicro vents have a C cell, rechargeable battery inside and run most of the night. Good ventilation, not great, b

One word of caution - my boat's head had 1 1/4 inch discharge hose. New heads are 1 1/2 inch. Check diameters if you want to re-use Y valves. The Raritan hose is more expensive and more flexible. I don't know if it is easier to install or more durable. I'd like to hear Peggy's recommendations.
