Well, the jury is still out on the West Marine
solar powered vent installation in a Westy cabin top,
but comments are still rolling in.  Keep 'em coming!

Travel with pets in warm, sunny climes necessitates such
a device, where open widows invite sticky fingers.
I wonder if this vent could be installed with a custom made
sound dampening housing on the inside?  All reasonable
suggestionson re this project gratefully accepted. Thanks
to all who've responded, despite references to "green water."

All hands on deck!
