I need to add one more. I finished the installation of my auxiliary cooling fan on my 85, 245 this evening. It was a tight install, but on the test drive in traffic, with all the stop lights, the air was as cool as if I were on the highway, and that's with the R-134-A retrofit that was done years ago. It's not something that I would reccomend for a first project, but it is very worthwhile. I wired the trigger wire to the compressor clutch wire, and I may add a switch to kill the fan when on the highway. It really pulls on the voltmeter. I have it protected with a 20 amp fuse in a marine fuseholder. I got lucky, and found the correct relay for the fan.
