530 Engine room venting


Hi all i have a 1999 Carver 530 and on a long run on the Easter weekend i went down to check on the engines whilst under way and noticed it was as hot as hell in the engine room.... surely the engines must be also breathing in this hot air..
So i have noticed on some later 530s they have vents right down near the Gensets but nowhere near the engines.
Has anyone added extra venting on the hull into the engine room. I have looked at this and before cutting into the hull would like to see how others have got around this issue... i know i can constantly run the bilge blowers but there must be a better answer... maybe some nice lazer cut vents on the outside of the hull.. but what and where would be the best way to drill or cut holes into the hull...Cheers Paul
