[C320-list] 12 volt fans

[Jack Brennan]

Hi Danny:

Glad you like them. I thought they were a good find.

I use the 12-volt plugs because I can avoid cluttering the interior of the boat with a zillion fans in every possible location. I can deploy the two I have anywhere in the boat. The 12-volt outlets are discreet, and you can use them not only for fans, but also to charge phones, etc.

I used a hole saw on my drill to mount the outlets on the trim  in the aft and forward cabins and near the fuse panel in the main cabin. 

In the forward and aft cabins, take off the trim by removing the screws. Then tie into the circuit for the cabin lights. In the main cabin, I wired the outlet to an unused accessory breaker. If you want to mount them permanently, this plan will also work.

I use two-inch wide, heavy duty Velcro because the fan really blows like hell. I originally used one inch and had to replace it.
