        <![CDATA[ I plan on installing a Nicro 3000 4 &quot; vent on my 2 Cabin Pullman. Looking to put it in the deck just aft and starboard of the mast. I will obviously be drilling 4 3/4&quot; hole in the deck in an area that looks clean. Has anyone done this installtion? Tips or advice?

			<description><![CDATA[ Just installed a 3&quot; NicroVent forward of the hatch in the aft head.  Used a hole saw.  Deck was 1 5/8 thick.  Did not have the drilling issues I had on the 30, which dulled the saw.<br>
            <br>
            This was a very easy job.  Not worth blocking the light to put it in a hatch.<br>
            <br>
            The 4&quot; does not fit in this location, due to the shape of the ceiling. (3 cabin)<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ The deck in total was about an 1&quot;thick. The core is 1/2&quot; balsa with approx. 1/4&quot; of glass on either side. The liner was also about 1/4&quot; thick and the space between them about the same.  I used a Milwaukee bit and whole saw and neither seemed to be dulled in the process. <br>
            <br>
            I liked the idea of the whole saw because the fit was tight and left little or no room for water to seep in. With the silicone applied liberally the upper flange was a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ken's suggestion of using a bag taped to the overhead is a good one.  I installed 2 vents in my last boat and using bags saved a lot of clean up. <br>
            <br>
            Rather than an expensive hole saw blade that fiberglass dulls quickly, I used a scroll saw with a composite blade after taping the deck and overhead to minimize chipping.  I cut the hold very slightly undersized and followed up with a sanding drum to clean up the edges.  Coated the core with epoxy to eliminate water... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ditto to Rod's comment on sealing the edges.<br>
            <br>
            For those who used the hole saw...was the deck filled or hollow?  I installed one on my C30 and the filler in the deck turned any tooth instantly dull.<br>
            <br>
            I finally ended up using a sanding drum on drill, which worked well...I was just having to open up an existing hole by 0.5&quot;...they changed the design.<br>
            <br>
            I had planned to use my RotoZip with a really... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I installed these vents on an Islander 30 that we owned years ago. Others are right, it's a fairly straight forward job. The only suggestion I would add is to mix up a small amount of resin and use it to seal the inside raw edges of your deck &amp; coring -- just in case there is any small path for water to find a way around your caulking seal.<div class='signature'>Rod Williams<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just installed the Nicro SS solar vent in the forward head of my 3 Cabin CL and it was easier than expected. I located it just forward of the Lewmar hatch. Knowing I was drilling the 4.75&quot; hole in the deck I located it about 28&quot; off the port side of the mast. The deck has a break in the non-skid pattern and I used that to center the vent. I drilled a small (1/16&quot;) pilot hole through to locate the location exactly in the head. Once done I was able to see I needed to move it... ]]></description>
