Ideally, the air in the interior of a boat should be circulated at least once every hour. With Nicro solar powered and standard ventilation systems, the boater can rest assured, knowing that this air is being continually exchanged thus reducing the incidence of mold, mildew, and musty air.

About Ventilation
Maintenance Ventilation
In most climates, boats that have been closed for a period of time will become "stuffy". The temperature differential that develops between the boat cabin and the outdoor environment will cause the humidity level inside the boat cabin to rise. When the humidity level in the closed cabin rises, moisture forms, resulting in mold, mildew and musty air. In these conditions, fabrics, boat electronics and even the boats fiberglass structure can be damaged. By consistently replacing trapped, stale air in the closed boat with fresh outside air, the humidity equalizes from inside to outside resulting in effective maintenance ventilation.
Comfort Ventilation 
Combining different types of Nicro vents, with one event providing "intake" airflow while another vent provides "exhaust" airflow, creates cross flow ventilation. A cross tents this page looks like a nice page sueflow ventilation system will make the interior cabin more comfortable and pleasurable because the air is constantly moving throughout the cabin. No matter what your boat size or cabin configuration you can increase your boating enjoyment with the addition of Nicro ventilation.
Safety Ventilation
Many boaters are unaware of the hazards that exist in the boating environment. Any number of serious ventilation problems can occur when a boat is left unattended. And even if you are under way, these problems don't go away. Fumes and gases, ranging from carbon monoxide to hydrogen gas from battery charging, to gasoline, propane or solvents stored below, are unpleasant, and can sometimes be dangerous. Also, any open flame devices in the cabin require proper ventilation. Nicro ventilation helps to eliminate these hazards by providing constant air circulation resulting in effective safety ventilation.
PowerVent
3000
24 Hour Solar Powered Ventilation
The PowerVent 3000 is Nicro's most powerful and full-featured vent available. The advanced solar powered design enables this deluxe model to move 900 cubic feet of air per hour. Operation is round-the-clock, 24 hours a day. A full shut-off damper prevents water intrusion in rough seas, and an On/Off switch stops operation while maintaining the battery charging process. The PowerVent 3000 is available in white, black, or stainless steel. An optional stainless steel cover is also available. Mounts directly to deck or hatch.
Day&Night
2000
24 Hour Solar Powered Ventilation
The Day&Night 2000 is Nicro's classic 24-hour solar vent. This model combines a standard Ni-Cad battery with advanced solar cell technology to provide round-the-clock ventilation. Air movement for the Day&Night 2000 is 800 cubic feet per hour for the 4" model and 700 cubic feet per hour for the 3" model. Available in black ABS, white ABS or stainless steel covers.
MiniVent
1000
Solar Powered Exhaust Ventilation
The MiniVent 1000 is the smallest and most economical solar vent in the Nicro tine. At just 7" in diameter and approximately 1-3/4" high, the MiniVent 1000 is compact yet effective. The solar powered model is an exhaust vent only, but it will keep the boat cabin cool when you need it most - during the hot sunlight hours. Under solar power, the Mini Vent 1000 will move 700 cubic feet of air an hour. At night, even a light breeze will continue to ventilate the boat passively. Built-in shut-off damper prevents water intrusion in rough seas. Fits a 3-3/4" installation hole. Available in white ABS plastic or stainless steel. Optional stainless steel cover is also available separately.
