Re: Can I dump the dump load?
FWIW, I would be very uncomfortable relying on an active air circulation device like a fan for this job. Those little PC fans are notorious for failing to start and cooking PC power supplies, and that's in a much less hostile environment than a boat. Passive radiation and thermo-cycling are much safer.
