blower

I'm looking for a wiring diagram for a Weems & Plath blower timer, I have the panel in the boat (E29), it looks like original equipment, but at some point a PO put in a new blower and bypassed the timer panel. See link for image of panel (I'm not sell it, I just found the image on ebay). Any...

In my 1990 diesel powered E28, there is a functional engine room blower fan and duct hosing. The installation is obviously original. However, the ducts are not vented to the outside of the boat, they are connected to thru-hull fittings at the top rear of the cockpit coaming sides that have blank...

Newbie here. We just bought a 1976 32-2 that hadn't been sailed in several years. While bent double inside the starboard lazaret trying to get at the front of the Atomic 4, I kept bumping into a floppy 3-inch corrugated hose that droops inside the hull from the lower bilge area to the blower...

In a current post about engine parts/function, Loren mentioned that he was advised by his mechanic to run his blower motor whenever the engine is operating. It had been my understanding that one should operate the blower motor before starting the engine (especially in a gas engine) to clear the...

I probably have the original blower and blower switch on my '76 E27 and all works well except the switch is located down below and often I wish I had that control in the cockpit. Is there a reason I can't have the best of both worlds and put in a relay? A solid state device should be reliable...

I posted a concern my girlfriend had about the engine compartment blower. "She asked how does the bilge blower work?" After her concern I removed the intake side hose from the blower and left it that way until today. Today I pulled on the hose that I had removed from the intake side...

I was doing some work on my carb on my 78 E29 when my date (this was her second weekend on the boat) asked how does the bilge blower work? I proceded to explain and she continued to question. I was showing her that the enblower is in the engine compartment and that there is an exhaust hose...

Last weekend I was getting ready to start the engine on my 1975 32-2 in preparation for motoring out for a nice afternoon sail and turned on the bilge blower switch and guess what? Bilge blower was not running. Checked the fuse and that was okay. Have not had any problems with the blower in...

I'm a new owner of a 1973 E27. This is my first sailboat and it's a real project. The previous owners left it in poor repair. One of my projects is to remount the engine compartment blower which was broken off its mounting and left dangling from it's wires when a rebuilt A4 was installed. I'm...

It is time to replace the blower hoses. The old stuff appears to be dryer hose that you would use for your clothes dryer at home. Do you recommend stepping up to the pay window at our local Marine supply store or can I just use dryer hose? In addition, the old hose was just attached to the...

The blower motor on my E30+ has worked fine til now, but without warning stopped functioning. It had been on for about 5 minutes or less while the engine was running, and then simply shut down even though the switch was still on--no strange noise, it just gently stopped. I have checked in...

I discovered a puddle that was causing problems for my inlet fan that vents into the bilge. The water collected in-between the vent cowl and the fan. The hose was distended like it accumulated water over the last few weeks' thunderstorms. Is this a common problem? Will this cause problems...

In attempt to relieve engine compartment/starboard lazerette heat in the real hot weather, I ran the blower while motoring. I was concerned in particular about extra heat in the lazerette where I placed the refridgeration compressor etc for my conversion from ice box to refer. And I still have...

The blower/vent hoses at the stern of my ericson 30+ are getting old and torn in a couple of places (looks like 4" plastic/vinyl dryer vent material!). While I can get at the port side easily through the cockpit locker, the starboard side has no cockpit locker, and while I can see the hose...

I'm a soon to be owner of a 32-III and during sea trials I noticed that there was a blower connected to the aft cowlings. Hoses ran to the engine compartment. Seems strange to me to have a blower on a diesel-powered boat. Any reason for this and are they really necessary?

Hi I am still in the process of getting everything ironed out on my recently purchased 1974 e27..when i first went to look at the boat i checked both the bilge pump and the blower (both worked) neither seem to be working now...first stupid question where is the fan that draws the air out of...
