Boat Vent II works Great on Pontoon

I live in Florida and have a problem with mildew forming on the vinyl seats in my pontoon. This gives great ventilation to not only ventilate the extreme heat, but to ventilate the moisture ...Read complete review

caution using wodden support poles

wooden poles will swell in this device making removal of the support poles impossible. aluminum poles are a must. the whole system is costly.

Q:
How big of a hole do you have to cut in the cover? Does the hole need to be stitched around it to keep it from unraveling?

  A:
  About a 2 1/2" hole, but TaylorMade provided a template. The clamping force of the Boat Vent should keep the canvas from unraveling.

  A:
  The hole is only about the size of a quarter or so and, no you do not have to stitch around it.

Q:
I have a Mastercraft cover that has poles which snap onto the cover. Should I use these existing locations and remove the snaps in the cover, or keep those poles, and put these vents and poles in a different location?

Q:
This vent says it works with a support pole and is sold as an accessory to the Pontoon Boat Cover Support Sysyem. Does it work with and is it designed to work with the poles in that set or does it need another pole?
Asked on 3/7/2010 by Jeff is Learning from New London, NC

- A:
  The hole in the vent for the pole to slide into is two and one-half inches deep. The first one inch of the hole fits onto a seven-eights inch diameter pole. Past the one inch mark the hole tapers to fit a three-fourths inch diameter pole. My support poles are three-fourths inch in diameter and they slide tightly all the way into the bottom of the two and one-half inch hole. Use any poles you want if they are either 7/8 or 3/4 inch in diameter. Hope this helps.

  The vent installs in the cover and if you have over say a 15-17 foot boat, you would probably want to go with two.
