Hi, appreciate any guidance given.
2017 Bavaria 34. In line blower from engine bay is vented via hose to cockpit near helm. I noticed that the noise from the vent goes up and down, corresponding to the fan speeding up and slowing down- which is noticeable. I changed the fan - same issue. I then checked the voltage across the fan and noticed every few seconds cycles between 14V and 10V. This is the causing the fan to speed up / slow down. The fan only comes on when the engine has started. Is this normal ?
My initial thoughts are faulty voltage regulator within the alternator. But in that sentence I have exhausted my knowledge. Thoughts
