On my 30' Hunter, I have two Nicro day and night 3" fans. One in each hatch.
The life is about six to seven years. Shop the internet for the best price which you will not find at West Marine.
If you place in the hatches, tape the area to be cut out, and use a hole saw that is the correct size. Use a clear calk and reverse the inside plate and just drill bolt holes through the hatch. Not a hard job.
Good luck

We have several of these for the boat and at home. Work great, and I think much better than hard wired 12v as you can move them around as needed.

O2Cool
I use an O2Cool fan. Uses 8 D cells or 12v. I plug in the AC adapter when at the dock and use the batteries or 12v cord w/lighter plug when anchored out. The D cells seem to last forever, so it must not draw much current. Good size, great output and can be hung with integral hook.
I like mine.

I can't recommend the O2Cool rechargeable fan. It only lasts about 6 hours on a charge. I have been reluctant to plug into my house bank using the 12v plug since I'm not sure what it draws. You can replace the rechargeable batteries with regular batteries so maybe that would give a longer run time.
