I have three of the Hella ($22 from Defender's) fans on Seaweed. Two are bolted to bulkheads while the third is screwed to an old clamp like the Roofers/termite men use. It can clip on the rails and with the cigarette plug end I can power it easily.
The Hella is "too noisy" but when temperatures go above 80 degrees suddenly the sound is lots less!
The power draw is low. And sometimes having two fans makes all the difference in the world.
My advice? Buy a hella and find a clamp to screw it to. Mine are five years old now, and knock teak, still working well.

TO the far right is the fan with the clamp. I agree that having a fan that can be moved is useful -- this one blows right at my middle and keeps me cooler because it is closer than the bulkhead mounted one in my galley.
