The Pilothouse I have is nicely shaded, but originally, it had a split, tilt-out lower section in the windshield for ventilation at the helm. It was eliminated by the previous owner. Rather than redo the windshield, I'm thinking that dorade vents mounted on the cowl might be the ticket, particularly during rain when the dorades can be swiveled around and still draw ventilation air from the high-pressure area at the base of the windshield. Screens to filter bugs could be added if need be. It seems like a pretty easy mod. Am I not thinking of something obvious? We don't see dorades much anymore. Here's an example of a cowl mounted dorade.
