Good product, unfortunately not an "exact"replacement for the Nicro Day/Night solar vents I had previously installed. I received a Marinco solar vent which is LARGER than the Nicro and DEEPER than the original. Also, this unit has a build in LED light. Inside it hangs a bit lower than the original Nicro. The installation is different than the Nicro.
Good news, if you drilled three holes for the Nicro, they will line up perfectly with the base of the Marinco. As well the opening will fit the Marinco.
To install, a base is screwed into the cabin top, and the inner trim and the outer solar vent portion screw themselves into the base. By that I mean, you spin them on to the base, there are no screws involved.
The outer portion snugged up nicely to the cabin top, however the inner portion trim was about 1/4" from the cabin liner.
In my boat there is about 2" from outside the wooden cored cabin top to the inside liner. I am trying to find a 1/4" ring that will finish the look. The old Nicro didn't have that problem. I tried using the old inner trim piece but it did not fit any better.
To summarize, the unit works great, the light is handy, installation is not difficult, but the size is larger both inside the cabin and outside as well. Another 1/4"of cabin thickness would have been nice.

Very nice unit appears to be an improvment over my older model (6-7 years). Installation not quite the easy plug and play as advertised -- but a bit of rework and 45 minutes all was good with the world.
