In preparation for going to Niagara-On-The-Lake next week, I want to add some 12V fans and power outlets in the V-Birth. I had purchased these items before Covid, and never got around to installing them.
I was originally going to run a marine grade 14ga wire to the panel.
However, when I took apart the little hanging locker there, I discovered that there already was a 12ga wire feeding the two lights on starboard and the two on port, so I decided to tap into them.
Had to remove the hanging rod, and several trim pieces inside the hanging locker:
Note the back has the hull # from the factory |
The 12V outlet was $22 from Amazon.
So I can charge my phone/tablet here, plus the cigarette lighter will charge my CPAP machine.
Much better than piling stuff on the chart table for charging!
On the port side, I just tied the 12V Caframo (Made in Canada) fan into the light circuit there.
Will hide the wires one I get the fan mounted.
The Caframo 3 speed fan only draws 1/4 amp on high mode.
Also have a small USB fan for my side of the bed on the starboard side.
Let me tell you, these fans made a HUGE difference over the next couple of days!
