Can you turn the vent so it is facing toward the stern? I would think if it's facing down, any water spashing up would get in the vent. I wonder why these vents don't have something like a one way trap door so air can vent out, but nothing can enter. --- In <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=-LpCQvslbx0R0LczSA1ntAnl7XS_JrchpdEbea3iMBd2PA-8By6Yj8Vxim7qUmjms2iCmetMRJ5RubO41FxtOwjmVfMf3g">[email protected]</a>, "Richard M.
