Hi i bought an oscilating fan for RVs the ones over the dash board for $9.99. I kinda put it together fast i just hooked it on with zip ties. So far its still fastened and works after i go through mud and water no problems have happened yet and i hope on planning to not have any. Only prob is grass and weeds after going through light high water get stuck in the fan cage and after a while i have to pull them out. But its no biggie. Mine is connected with an ON and OFF switch that it comes with i just turn it on after i feel like it needs it after a good hard run through a canal or i run it hard. Well goodluck on your project hope it works out.

 

Thanks again guys for the feed back. I did get the thing to work and I punished the fan with water. Clean, clear water! The mud is going to be a show stopper I'm sure. But at least I get to try it out this weekend. Bill, will be amazed how much faster my KQ goes when I turn on the fan... :0) ZOOOM!

Faster?Yah OK.I bet when you kick on the big jumbo propeller fan,the damn ATV goes so fast that it wants to go airborn.I can see it now,a new ATV landing strip will soon be needed.
LOL,

I don't have my pilot's license yet so I won't be flying soon. But I'm going to use it the way it is this weekend. I beat up the speedo cover pretty good, trying to put the switch and light into it. Have to order another. I had some problems with them not fitting next to the handlebar, going through the speedo cover area. I need a really compact switch and light next time.

OK, the fan went through some heavy mud today and it survived the whole trip. Some holes were much deeper than I remember from last trip to Gladwin and I wanted to avoid the holes I didn't feel confidant about since I was riding alone. There were a lot of riders out today. I talked to two guys on King Quads, who asked me about the fan. They wanted to know how well does it work. I told 'em,"I don't know, forgot I had it". It's been weeks since I last did some riding and I was just pleased to be out. I rode ninteen miles and had the fan turned on the last six miles or so. Don't think I'll be in the market for another fan unless...?
