[Public-List] Blowers

Tue Jul 18 18:02:09 PDT 2023

I have the same Jabsco blower listed by Jonathan. It is attached to the bulkhead on the SB side of the aft lazarette and through a short hose blows out through the SB cowl vent. The problem, as someone has already mentioned, is that with heavy rains, the bottom quarter or so of the squirrel cage housing of the fan fills with water. I have thought about making a drain hole at the bottom but then any fumes coming from below would leak out defeating its purpose.
