Hi John, Sorry I don't have a good picture of the blocks I used. I used several layers of 1/4" fiberglass sheet (cause I had some lying around) and epoxy putty cause I planned to step on the blocks when working the foredeck. There is a new material available at lumber yards called expanded PVC sheet that would work better. I shaped the blocks so they are curved and very close to the ICP solar fans I have on my boat. The lines are 3/8" so the gap between the blocks and the fan housing had to be closer than that, maybe 1/8" to 1/4" max. I found 1/8" easy. I painted the final result to match the deck color.

I fashioned small blocks that I epoxied in front of the fan and sheets now ride up and over the fan, no problem. The blocks are about 45 degrees off either side of center line of the fan, and about 1 1/2" high and 2" wide and work great.

Where is yours mounted?

Unlike the newer ones, this one doesn't run when the sun goes down. Is that because it does not have a rechargeable battery or is the battery to far along in its life to hold a charge? Any idea what kind of a battery this model would take and where you you obtain it?
