So next on the list was a fan kit for behind the electronics. I had my MFD’s shut down from over heat this summer. I opened up a hole in the AC distribution box to blow cold air back there when the AC is on but… My last trip to Bimini I didn’t need the AC running as it was nice enough with the vent window open and the sunroof open. Got 1 hour in and the left MFD went thermal. Got my laser temp gauge out and reached under the dash and found 120 degree reading. All that electronic equipment makes a ton of heat and definitely not good for for the life of any of it. I stopped by the Raymarine booth at FLIBS and asked if my MFD’s had a fan on them and found out they don’t. We talked about my thermal experience and they’ recommended a fan moving air back there should fine. So I found this fan kit on Amazon and installed it today. Definitely moving some air now. Need to wait until spring to give it the full test. One more item checked off the to do list
