Do you cover your engine room vents? If yes what works well? I am a first year live aboard and need too keep some of the cold out.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I had a seamstress make foam filled covers for mine, they help hold what heat there is in the engine compartment & bilge. I have oil pan heaters on the mains & generator & keeping the wind from circulating thru probably helps them maintain a more stable temperature. The best thing I've found for keeping the boat comfortable in the winter is having the F/B & cockpit enclosure on & closed up.
Thanks Ron T and River Cruiser,
Ron are the I/4" plywood panels used to replace the vent covers? River Cruiser how are the insulated cover attached?
Thanks again

I didn't go with the snaps because I thought they may hang up on the roof supports when backing in to the slip when it's real windy.Thanks for the reply, I think I will take the corner screws out of the vents and replace them with snaps, like those used on tops and rail covers and get some top gun material and install the female half of the snap for fastening. Thanks all for the help, first year live aboard job list is getting quite long. Greg
