If you have been owner of any boat long enough you will probably have serviced,replaced or repaired almost everything on your boat.
That´s  why it´s important to do repairs,service and replacements with best possible quality.
This week has been the week of broken fans.
First the fan in the pilothouse (bringing hot air out of the engine room) shut down. Fault search revealed a dead 24v electrical supply and further a dead 24v fan motor.
Bringing out the new spare (purchased last replacement 2018) it showed to be the same electrical effect (80W) but a 12v motor
Subsequently I needed to split the 12 v supply to the nearby Icom SSB radio  and supply the new fan as well ,all working great.
