Hey all, I'm looking for input on a good blower installation on my 1976 C&C 30 mki. I'm almost through rewiring my entire boat and I'm up to replacing the blower. I removed the the old unit because the fan motor was dead. Judging by the look of it, it may have been original.
The flexible hoses were connected to nothing, so I'm not exactly sure how it was originally hooked up. Although I surmise it exhausted through one of the two dorade vents on the transom. I assume the other dorade vent is used to just allow outside air into the engeine compartment - since there is nothing hooked up to that. I'm curious what the original blower/air inlet setup was on a 30 mki, and I'm I'm looking for the safest and most effective way to clear my engine compartment of gasoline fumes. Also, if anyone has opinions on the proper size (in CFM) of the blower(s) and the proper diameter of the flexible tubing I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
