3208T Engine Cooling Fan

[jburgessx2]

I had a hydraulic fan on my 3208 Cat in my old Beaver and that fan
turned some serious air. I doubt an electric motor would be able to
move the same amount of air without a large draw on horsepower. It
does take significant horsepower to create that much electricity. Of
course, I could be wrong. . .
