Essential for summer overnight trips
We used this on the front hatch of my O'Day 23 while in a marina at Fire Island, NY in August. I had already spent 5-10 minutes doing the initial setup at our home marina, so it was simple to put it up. I was able to turn it left or right in the hatch, if needed, to angle it into the wind. We ordered it right before our trip and it was essential for moving air through the boat. When it drizzled we were able to lower the hatch part of the way. When it poured we had to bring it in, sadly, but at least the heavy rain was brief. It folds up about the size of an umbrella and stores on the ledge behind my settee.

Cheaply made and overpriced
This has been in service about seven months and with occasional use, the hinge broke. The hinge is plastic and fragile.

easier than the old scoop
definitely works. Took a little bit to get the right amount off tension, but helps the boat

Enjoy my Breeze Booster
I enjoyed using the Breeze Booster on a charter trip in the BVI’s. I decided that I needed one for my boat. It works great and exactly as advertised. The instruction sheet that comes with the product could be improved. The images are very difficult to see; kind of like a bad photocopy. But I do recommend this product.

Good product
Effective and easy to deploy! We've been cruising Mexico and it has made a big difference in cabin comfort.

not as good as we hoped.
The marketing copy states you can close the hatches while these are in place, and in our case, this was not true. We have flush hatches, and when we closed them, water leaked in through the seal which was no longer tight.
