VENTILATION

Good ventilation on your boat is very important if you have enclosed areas. It can help prevent mildew and bad odours and can
save lives by taking carbon monoxide or petrol fumes out of the boat. When it comes down to making the best choice of ventilation
system, VETUS has a wide range, even for the harshest conditions, both extremely safe and stylish as well. We at VETUS understand
that ventilation isn’t just a hole in your boat. When done correctly it can be a breath of fresh air!

There are 2 types of ventilation systems

1. Natural (passive) ventilation
Consists of vents, cowls and other permanent openings in the boat, designed to let air enter or exit using wind power or the boat’s
motion to move the air. Primarily used for living spaces.
2. Power extraction ventilators

Specifically designed to clear fumes from closed compartments. VETUS power extraction ventilators are ignition protected to
prevent sparks and are built to resist overheating and corrosion.
