Installing Cabin Fans

Post by brsailing »

Hello:

I am planning on installing four fans in my boat -- two in salon and one in each berth. It doesn't appear there is any pre-wiring for fans. Looking for suggestions regarding the best plan for installation.

Best path/technique for getting wiring to starboard side? Any other suggestions/tricks/words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan Dirkse

Dan,

Assuming you use quality, low amp draw 12 VDC fans such as those offered by Hella (http://www.hellamarine.com/en/products/ ... o-fan.html you can just tap into the wiring for the lights.
