At initial outfitting time, I had a separate 12V fan curcuit installed with
outlets throughout over bunks, heads, galley, eating area, chart table. I
installed HELLA fans primarilly because they would give a reasonable breeze
..... for a 12 V fan and have minimal current draw --- for an electric fan..
So when I wanted to operate on the cheap (electrically cheap) I could have
my breeze without eating the batteries. When I installed solar panels, I
discovered the controller I selected(morningstar) had the ability to divert
as the batteries topped off. Rather than do nothng with all the free
electrons, I hooked it up to the fan circuit.

I used diverted power from my solar regulator to run fans throughout the
boat.

Just how many watts do your fans draw?
