Summer in Florida, need I say more?
Hot Hot Hot!!!
I purchased twelve 24-volt Hella Marine fans about a year ago. They were about 50% off. I guess I could say, I got a hellava deal ~ groan. Installing them has been a back burner project since I bought them. They have been collecting dust. Well, the back burner project moved rapidly to the front burner as the outside temperature has hovered around the mid-nineties this week.
Before
I made the wooden bases out of African Mahogany
Cut small hole in vinyl ceiling cover, clean and drill a pilot hole (being very careful not to drill through the cabin top)
Add some epoxy putty so the wooden base adheres
Mount the wooden base with the screw
Secure fan to wooden base and connect wiring
Repeat ten times. Stow the two extras for spares. Voilà! We have fans.
I tend to measure the success of a project by the lack of unplanned incidents and accidents. Very rarely am I able to complete a product without a run to the store, needing a tool, causing another project because the thing I was working on went horribly wrong. Things like fires or electrocution aren’t usually good. This project only required one Band-Aid. So, I would have to rate today’s work as a success.
