Yeah, but it's at work.  Give me a few hours and I'll get back to you.

However, I would always fit some sort of dorade vent/baffle to get fresh 
air in.  Even a clamshell vent on an aft cockpit bulkhead with a dorade 
type water trap box inside.  Fit an inspection port to the box opening 
in the cabin if you're worried about taking a wave in really bad 
weather, but 99% of the time you could leave it open.
