#3 Continuation of Most Useful Household Appliances When Cruising

#3 Caframo Two Speed, Two Blade Fans                                                                                             Model 747

These are the best! The BEST!

They don’t just move air forward... they propel air, yet they’re quiet! They are 12 volt operated and use a mere .59 amps. They can be clamped on, screwed on or suction cupped where is most beneficial for you. You can put them in the cockpit, the head, over your berth, the galley... they are fantastic!

It looks a little dangerous without a grate covering in front of the blades, but the plastic blades are "finger safe". I’ve stuck my elbow in it and Jim has stuck his head in it... not on purpose. It didn’t feel good, but we didn’t suffer any cuts or abrasions. Most importantly, we didn’t lose any body parts.

These are not cheap fans, about $50 at West Marine with tax. However, if you are in hot or humid conditions, we highly recommend this product! Last time I made it to the states I purchased two more of them!

Caframo makes other fan models, and we have a couple of them on board. They are not near as powerful. They are also not as easy to clean. The two blade, two speed Model 747 is the most impressive in our opinion.
