kimberlite is on a distinguished road
cockpit vent

we have 2 3 inch vents in our cockpit.
one runs when the enfgine is running on 12 volts and the other runs on 220 volts when the genset is running.
they both vent into a sideways vertical plenum on the cockpit side. it is arranged so se water never enters . it is a standard feature on all amels.
it is built under the amel logo on the port side of the boat.
we were pooped this trip south and did not have a drop of water in the engine room.
heat in the engine room also shortens the life of your alternators and generator.
fair winds,
eric
