[C320-list] Has anyone replaced the 12v cabin fans? Any recommendations?

[Bob Borelli]

I have installed both Caframo Ultimate & Bora fans.

 Bora hard wired in Salon & Aft berth.

Ultimate hard wired in vee berth & head.

Additional 12V receptacles added to move Ultimate fans with plug around cabin as needed.

It gets mighty hot during the summer.

I prefer the Ultimate fan due to the higher volume of air moved (CFMs):

  *   Bora       Low  100     High 130 CFMs     3-speed, salon bulkhead & aft cabin.
  *   Kona       Low  110    High 150 CFMs
  *   Sirocco    Low  125    High 185 CFMs
  *   Ultimate  Low  150    High 200  CFMs   2-speed, head, vee berth, salon, aft cabin.

I purchased these on a recommendation from another owner.

I recently bought the *Caframo Sirocco II Fan.*
It's the 3 speed, the 2 speed without the fan guard is way to noisy to
sleep. I installed it replacing the back cabin light.
