Yamaha viking hp spal radiator cooling fan
Just wondered if anyone upgraded to this aftermarket fan for the their Viking.

If you have, did you need to change the circuit breaker? They mention in the details that it ma require a higher amp circuit breaker or fuse. The fan fuse is 25 amps so I believe that should be good, but the electrical diagram shows a circuit breaker between the fan relay and the fan (unless that circuit breaker is internal to the fan I haven't checked).
Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

I have had one in for a month now, no issues just great cooling. OEM died after 120hrs. Cheers

Awesome! Thanks for the info everyone. I went ahead and ordered it. I'm hoping I can get it mounted without having to open the cooling system.
With the rad in the front and the engine in the back I'm betting that system is a PITA to burp.

Jack the front end high up in the air when burping. JBS has a video. Cheers

Pulling an old thread back to the surface... I see a lot of fans die and cause major problems. Getting ready to take a big trip in a couple of weeks with my big Viking VI. The machine is a 2015, I don't run in the water and don't go mudding...but I have 105 hrs and 1500 miles on the machine. Would hate to go 800+ miles and melt her down over the cooling fan...

So I am hearing that I should be good (or as good as the stock fan can be) then...mine is already routed a little better and has the end (with a good chunk) facing down. Pulled it off the other day and blew everything out to keep the dust out. Seems to be working ok at this point.
This is a bigger purchase at this time, so I will likely hope for the best on our trip and look to get one this summer...

I just put that fan in mine. My stock one quit working. Some WD-40 in the vent tube once in a while and you should be good to go. What happens is the brushes inside corrode and get stuck back.

I put the spal fan on my Viking and that thing moves some air. I also bypassed the factory cooling fan circuitry and plumbed in my own temp switch which triggers a relay to run fan.
