- Cool & Bright We light up the engine bay and cool it down for next to nothing! Fed up of using torches to light the engine bay when working on or checking the engine we decided to fit a work-lamp. In the summer the engine bay can get very warm and the existing heat extract needs a boost now and then.
Great in the winter as the engine heats the whole boat but in the summer the temperature can get very warm and will stay warm for hours. Working on the engine or even just doing a few checks was a pain as you had to hunt down a torch to see the dipsticks or check for leaks. We as always, wanted a cheap solution for both these issues. The fan only comes on when it is needed saving power and the light is a series of super bright LED's mounted in a work lamp giving a fantastic light with a draw of just 0.7 of an amp. He's how we did it.

Welcome to our channel.
We are now in season 6
In 2018 we left the UK to sail around the world slowly. After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far.
We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
We do have a second channel YOUR DRONE TV It is a mix of music from classical to blues, from Opera to Punk all with stunning drone footage.

Good morning from southern Minnesota USA
Hello! Thanks for watching. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
Thank You again for the great detail, The excellent wiring diagram makes for easy installation...Brilliant...
You are welcome! Thanks for watching. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
That looks cool. Did you drill a hole in the back of your boat for hot air to escape? or where is it going to? CU guys
Hi Guys. Our Farr design hull has a tailgate dive platform. Either side of this plaform there are two ducted vents to the engine room. They are in a drt place with a swan neck loop in. It is working well so far. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid. xx
Nice idea. I was thinking of adding a fan to suck out the hot air from the engine bay but thought I'd power it off the alternators battery isolator, so that it only comes on when the engine is running. Is that a bad idea?
The original extractor fan does this via the electronic charge regulator. Doing it like this the fan will continue to cool after the engine is off. Until the temp falls or until you turn it of remotly. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Great project. Simple solution. The additional light is a good idea
Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Thanks for the comment its always nice to get them. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Box is not IP65 after you cut a big hole in the front,but it doesn’t have to be it’s inside 😃.
Choc blocks are fine it’s people using Wagos that are not for low voltage DC.
No Wago's here 😉 Thanks for watching. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Hi Ant, shouldn't the inline protection fuse be on the supply or feed in to the thermostat switch or does it have it's own internal fuse.
Hi Chris. The supply at the main board has a fuse. This has a 10 Amp spade fuse on the board. I have shown this on the diagram. It protects all the cable/installation. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
