The mushroom vents on 80' Elcos:



I didn't find a drawing specifying deck placement so I used a scaled deck arrangement drawing. As far as I can tell from other deck arrangement drawings, they were in the same location on all 80' boats. I didn't have a 565-624 drawing to check though.

You're welcome Drew.

You again Walther.

Heh. Dunno Ted, I ganked that from Dave's photobucket. Excellent work figuring out that's an exhaust port!
