Dorado vents or, properly, Dorado Boxes sit underneath those tuba-looking cowl vents. The boxes prevent water from going into the boat through the vents. The name is often used incorrectly for the cowl vents themselves. Greg Cal 29 "Happy Hour" "Rodney G. Johnson" <rj… [at] juno.com> wrote: >What are the "dorados"?

Those are "DORADE" vents, so-called because they were (allegedly?) first used on the famous S&S yawl, "DORADE" I kind-of thought that was what you meant, but wasn't sure. A "dorado" is a fish, also known as a dolphin, but no relation to the marine mammal by that name. for anyone unfamiliar with Dorade-style vents (or Dorade boxes as they are also known), they are usually a cowl vent mounted atop a box on the cabin top, the box allows the vent to be off-set from the hole or tube that goes through the cabin top (or deck) so any water that gets in the vent will drain out of holes along the side of the dorade box instead of "pouring" below. Many newer boats actually have these integrated into the deck instead of mounted on top of the deck. Pretty neat!
