Hi! I have a Cutwater 28 2015. I just bought a Marino solar vent 4", and I need some advice before installing it. If I drill a hole in the cabin roof next to one of the hatches, I will have to drill through the fiberglass shell and the interior ceiling ( a soft white foam material). Will this work? Are there any electrical or other lines running in that ceiling that I might damage by my drilling? Does anyone know if the vent will accommodate that extra thickness?
One alternative apparently is to install in in the center of a hatch. Can I safely drill a hole in the hatch? Are the hatches acrylic and can I wind up cracking and ruining the hatch?
Finally, does anyone have an opinion about using polyurethane sealant ( compound 5200) on acrylic; one source says it is a No go, another says it is ok and preferred.
Thanks for whatever advice you guys can give me before I get started!
