Title: 3 Fans
Post by: GaryM on June 02, 2008, 11:29:09 am

I want to add 3 x 12v PC fans to my model to keep the innards cool.
Would the wiring diagram below be OK to use?  It's basically three reds into one and three blacks into one and then connected to my parallel battery.

regards
Gary :)

as long as you have somewhere for the air to go to, you'll be ok.
just blowing the air around a closed space wont do much cooling.

Youll need an inlet, and an outlet, then you can space the fans (all blowing the same way towards the outlet), along the boat.
