I started a thread a few weeks ago about Hella fans and it started me down a
road that lead me to computer cooling fans. Bought a couple Sunon 120 x120 x
38 mm fans and tested them. Rated at 116 CFM, these compact fans have maglev
bearings and are rated at 60,000 (yes, 3 zeroes) hours. Spec calls for 48 db
and .48 amp. The sound is just enough to drown out that party on the other
boat in the anchorage and my tests show closer to .5 amps at 12v. Might need
control circuitry to choke down the breeze if it's directed right at you.
I'm now trying to find a suitable mounting bracket so I can direct the
(roughly) 5 inch square unit. Any ideas for a relatively esthetically pleasing
mount. Fan looks great in a teak "picture frame".
