New & Improved!

Quiet, Long Lasting, Low Amps, Two Speeds

Based on an electrical equipment fan, the Port Fan is about four times as powerful as an average computer fan, yet still very quiet. On high speed, it blows about 106 cubic feet of air per minute yet draws only about 0.5 amp on high speed and about 0.25 amp on low, so you can run one all night without draining your battery.

The 6' cord has a male cigarette plug with a fuse inside. Average life expectancy of this 12V fan is 70,000 hours, almost 8 years of continuous use! (Also available in 24V and 32V or with a 110V adaptor.)

The deluxe model includes 3 mounting options!

• The Port Fan will fit into any size or shape opening port to pull the cooler outside air in. It mounts with a bungee loop around the port lens (or the hinges) for quick removal when the rains come. Turn it facing out to vent the galley or the head. Or use them in pairs in opposing port holes, one to blow in, one to vent out, for terrific cross-ventilation!
• Self-adhesive Velcro mounts the fan in an overhead hatch, inside your engine compartment (for those hot maintenance and repair days), or under a cabinet.
• Our new bulkhead mount is a universal bracket which allows the fan to point in any direction. You can have air circulating in the cabin even when all ports and hatches must be shut. With an extra wall bracket, you can increase your mounting options for a single fan. The Port Fan is compatible with another popular manufacturer's universal bracket.
• You can even set your Port Fan on a shelf or table to cool you wherever you are working, or put one in the cockpit when you're entertaining on a still night.

If you've got a heater or air-conditioner on board, our fan works great for circulating air throughout the cabin. We find that a high position and pointing to blow down seems to work best.

Because we manufacture these fans ourselves, we can customize to fit your needs: 12V, 24V, 32V, short cord hardwire version, with or without any of the mounts or plug, any variation that you want. Adaptors for 110V are available here too. If you need ventilation for a boat in storage, contact us for the scoop on a no-frills fan to operate on a 5 watt solar panel and no battery!

We have used a fan like this on board HOTWIRE since we began cruising. One night while we were asleep, our cat Shiner fell overboard. We were able to hear her plaintive calls for help over the sound of the fan.
