My hopes of using a 12v domestic fan (to drag cooler air into my boat via a vent) are dashed as I had not realised that it would be AC not DC.
As several of you have told me... it will be cheaper to get a DC fan rather than try to convert.
Well ... I have got a computor fan which will fit up my 'vent hole'.
It is 12 v DC and my only problem is the wiring blue red black and yellow I have no idea which to wire up. I suspect that there may be 2 speeds and possibly a thermostat wire but will appreciate some help.
I have some doubts as to the power of this fan to reall bring much air into the boat though it is quoted as around 40 cubic feet per minute.
I have been searching for a more powerful fan but so far have only seen the bilge blower type which have the power but wont fit the 4 inch vent.
