Escape hatch vent
Anyone got a link to a 24" roof vent that fits escape hatches? Thanks.

You need to skin it over first then install a vent or fan.

I thought I saw a post here were a member found opening marine hatches that were large enough to fit over his emergency exits.

IIRC: He ordered them from China. Perhaps on Alibaba or AliExpress?

They are not hard to find. I googled "24" marine escape hatch"

Easy find, easy to disregard when you see they cost $500-$1000.

Those "escape " hatches are way expensive. I found done around the 250 range. I was going for unknown options. Thanks
