    where's your holding tank vent?

    Vikings, Where are your holding tank vents? I'm trying to figure out where to install mine. I'm thinking of putting the through-hull (or hulls) just beneath the sheer stripe, but I'm a little concerned about water intrusion. I've found two links that show two different approaches. Thanks for...

    E29 - help - minor c02 poisoning in v-birth

    When I sleep in the v-birth, I find that I wake up after a few hours of sleep with the symptoms of c02 poisoning - shortness of breath, and a racing HR. I immediately start feeling better when I stick my head out of the boat, getting lungs full of fresh air. Has anyone else had this problem...

    Cabin Locker Ventilation

    Does anybody know of a reason that there is no venting of the seat lockers in my E-27? Has anybody placed a vent or vents from the seat locker into the cabin? I have never seen seat lockers vented but cannot think of a reason they are NOT vented. Venting these lockers would help reduce...

    Improving Ventilation in E27

    I would like to improve the ventilation in my E 27. Has anyone added cowl vents with dorade boxes, solar ventilators, etc. with success? If so, where were they placed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional? In addition, I am thinking about replacing the cowl that my anchor chain and rode...
