Brook,

I don't have a solar ventilator on my Catalina, but a buddy of mine has one on his O'day 30. It is located right smack dab in the middle of his hatch. I am not exactly sure if we are talking about the same thing, but stepping on the hatch sho

Hi Brooke--Happy New Year to you as well.

The previous owner of my C25 put it right in the middle of the foredeck. Am constantly triping over the darn thing. If I had it to do over again I would put it in the hatch. It does a great job. We are on the Gulf Coast of Texas and the solar powered uni
