This is tempting... I might just have to pick up a bilge fan on the cheap from Fleet Farm and play with it.

I forgot to mention that the system would have to have it's own deep cycle sitting in the trunk so as to not load down the alternator, sorry. I might have a spare YellowTop Optima to play around with and try messing around with some form of this system. Time for the thinking cap!
