That pic shows: Baby, it's cold outside!
Winter just landed a good combination, of heavy snow & 50mph wind, on the US NE seaboard & it's gonna be in the single digits all week ... Stay tuned
Love the dorades John. Can you also swivel them to catch wind if docked?
The dorade boxes r fixed but the Cowl Vents rotational in any direction 360% the cowl vents can also b removed & the dorade boxes can b capped off

At the risk of outing myself as 'that guy', the dorades are actually the boxes under the scoop vents that prevent water that enters the vent from getting past the deck, into the space below. John (Highlander) made his own dorades, and used commercial scoop vents on top.
Sorry. I just can't help myself sometimes. Like Sheldon Cooper knocking and calling a name three times.
That's OK. BTW the comma should be inside the quotation marks, which shouldn't be apostrophes but actual quotation marks, as in: ... "that guy," the dorades... and not ... 'that guy', the dorades...

Maybe, just maybe, can we get back to summer photos. It’s to cold out to be speaking of items of minuscule importance. Sorry John, but I want summer back. Pictures help, not pictures of dorades.

To each his own.
The only picture worth posting from last summer. Oldest son, and his wife and daughter. Taken in Little Pleasant Bay in Cape Cod. Photo isn't going to warm anyone up, though; it was rather cool that day.
... Stay tuned
