12V Fans For EC 21

[bryclag]

Any suggestions for a good quality 12V fan (or two) for the EC21 cabin? Hoping to mount near helm.

We have a 12 volt fan , endless breeze, purchased from Amazon. It's a larger fan that couldn't be mounted but it works great. When we're on the hook I hang it in the doorway. Good breeze and runs all night from the 12 volt adapter. Having it available to use when the weather is hot is good. Having the A/C is MUCH BETTER
Here's to staying comfortable,

I found a good 12 volt fan at a truck stop Has a strong clamp and oscillates if you want.. Good white noise at night and moves a lot of air This one is made by Auto Expressions

Hello Bryclag,

I have two Caframo Bora 12VDC fans at the helm of my 21EC. They are 3 speed and work well. Like this

I had two "Ultimate" fans on my last pilot house boat. They work fine. With their exposed blades, I thought the 21EC cabin was a little tight for that design. Like this

When working on the boat in the yard, I run a regular household 120VAC fan, maybe 10-12" fan size, and it seems to move TONS more air than the 12VDC variety. Lots more, like more than 4 Caframo Bora fans. I'm not ready to run a household fan on an inverter, just making an observation.

I've also had Hella brand 12VDC they call it their "turbo fan" on a previous boat. It is 2 speed and a good overall fan. Like this

If your pockets are deeper, the Caframo Taku is REALLY nice with some cool features. It's designed to mount on a roof hatch and pull or push air. Like this

Lots of choices!
