Caframo Fairview 12-Volt Windshield Defogger, 9303CA-BCS
The Caframo Fairview Windshield Defogger (9303CA-BCS) clears a fogged or misted boat windshield in minutes using a genuine PTC ceramic heating element. Rated 12 Volt DC / 100 Watts / 340 BTU, it plugs directly into a standard lighter plug and offers two installation options: a permanent screw-down base for a fixed mount, or a sure-grip suction cup base that lets you remove and stow the unit when it is not needed. The unit is warm to the touch during operation but is never hot, making it safe to handle in the cockpit or on the dash while underway. Its small, low-profile footprint keeps the windshield area clear for the driver without crowding the helm. A 5 foot attached wire gives flexibility in positioning the defogger relative to the lighter plug and the area of glass that needs clearing. Because the PTC ceramic element is self-regulating, the defogger provides steady, consistent heat output without the risk of overheating during use. This makes the Fairview Windshield Defogger a simple, low-maintenance accessory for boaters who need reliable visibility in cool, damp, or foggy conditions on the water.
