E28 solar vent

[SteveCrane]

Just bought my first boat - an E28 - after 52 years of letting someone else pay the bills. On the first sail the jib sheet caught the solar vent on the forward hatch and flung it into the sea. I cannot find anything in Ericson documentation about this solar vent. Does anyone know the likely manufacturer or a potential source of replacements? Thanks -- Steve

It was more than likely a Nicro. West marine has a wide selection as shown in the link: (http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...t|2497371034&gclid=CKSxsPvB2JoCFRLoxgodjFNoGQ)

To my knowledge these were aftermarket items. To stop your replacement from being swept overboard, you can drill a hole in the base and the fan and use a pin or ring to hold down.
