Center opening window

[eric]

Hi folks

I would really like to have an opening window in front of my EC 21. I contacted a company and the price seems fair considering I plan on having this boat a very long time. However I was wondering if anyone had this done and if you had any pictures of it. I am just thinking of the middle window being able to open.
Thanks a bunch
Eric

Eric,
When I first got my R21EC I thought it would be nice to have the forward windows open to get a little more air on a hot day. I have since decided against it. Many times when I am cruising we will get just enough water over the bow to get either the center and starboard windows wet, or the center and port windows wet. Forget opening the hatch above the berth.

I have purchased a couple of 12v DC oscillating fans that help with air circulation, and I got a box fan that works off of 12v DC that really gets the air moving. The oscillating fans also help with fogged up windows.

Maybe it would be nice to have the forward windows open when anchored. If you change out the center window, make sure you get a solution that allows the use of the wiper. You will need the wiper.
