J70 Trailer Dock Box Ventilation

I had seen this idea when I sailed the J/70 Winter Series last year and finally had a chance to add it.  In short I cut a hole in the aft end of both dock boxes on the trailer and added a screen with a vent cover over it.  This allows a little more air flow into the dock box in case any wetness ends up in there.  The vents are on the back of the trailer so no rainwater gets in when trailering in wet conditions.

Parts:

• Louvered Vent
• Piece of screen
• 5200
• Nuts/washers/bolts

Tools

• 2″ hole cutter
