  Just finished installing two 6" Vetus mushroom vents in place of the stbd. side cabin top dorade box that served the main cabin and shower.  Reason for the change is the ability to close these vents to watertight in the case of serious sea conditions.  The dorade box could not be made watertight even with a screw-in plate which is a safety problem.

  Vetus vents are closeable from either on deck or below.  Units are 316 stainless, have integral screens.  When closed are about 2" in profile and can be stepped on.

  Will also be installing these for the two engine blower vents, the port side cabin top penetration where the heater chimney stack once was and the foredeck chain locker dorade... see attached.  Will send pictures of the installations.
