John:
My Nicro 4" Vent is mounted on the forward hatch window in the V
berth......never, not once has a jib sheet ever got caught on it.....I
have used a 150%, 135% and a 110% jib.
I would be more concerned with someone stepping on it. Not sure how it
would hold up if a 200 lb. deck ape stood on it but given the plus side
of it drawing fresh air through the boat, it is worth the risk.
As I said in an earlier post, my vent has been spinning continuously
since we got the boat in March 2006. Having had this experience with
one, I wouldn't be without one.

Bob,
I have the identical boat same year etc. and have been reluctant to mount my
Nicro Vent in the window of the forward hatch in the V berth as I have been
told by some that the jib sheets get caught on it during a tack. Where is
yours mounted?

The Nicro Marine vent on my boat is identical to the one in this video:

It appears to be an older model, obviously since it has been on the boat
since we bought it in 2006. Unlike the newer ones, this one doesn't run
when the sun goes down. Is that because it does not have a rechargeable
battery or is the battery to far along in its life to hold a charge?
Any idea what kind of a battery this model would take and where you you
obtain it?
