I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has considered adding ventilation to the salon of a DB52. A little background - during the week when we are not on the boat we usually do not leave the AC on and the temperatures in the salon can get well above 100 degrees. As the temperature increases, the refrigerator and freezer need to run more to maintain temperature and dump even more heat into the salon. Needless to say this is not good for the interior.
Next year we plan on taking the boat south for the winter and then storing it on the hard for the summer in the VA area. The refrigerator and freezer will be off but I still have the same concern about high temperatures in the salon.
Has anyone considered adding a window that opens, ducting in a vent that could connect to a solar powered blower, or something else to help vent/cool the salon.
I would be interested if anyone has come up with a creative solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
