Do you all run your blowers non stop while the engine is running?

No, going down the ramp and just before starting if we have been off for a while on the lake

All those exploding boat stories on WW over this last weekend are making me worried.


So Dingle, you do run it non-stop initially?

I will have to check later, but how many and what kind of boats

a couple wakeboats and looks like one searay type bigger boat.

I started doing it after Phil made a comment in here about how it would be possible to develop a leak in the fuel lines as your boat is running, so that it was OK on start, but then developed an explosive mixture after running the engine for a while. While the air intake of the running engine might bring in enough fresh air to prevent an explosive vapor content, if you run the blower it will draw air from the bottom of the bilge when the gas fumes would concentrate. Easy thing for a little extra peace of mind, and they are pretty cheap to replace if/when it fails due to constant use.

failing for constant use was my worry. But what the hell, a cheap electric motor vs. a $70-90K+ boat...

We need someone to install a serious badazz massive CFM blower as an upgrade. Just for fun. Vent it out the back and maybe it would even add some thrust

I will not post in general, but my understanding is you cannot transfer Tige 36/360 warranty. You can pay to transfer the hull warranty for 10 years to the second owner, not lifetime.

Not to worry Five, I just wndrd how you found her FB page.

[thtrog]

[thtrog]

You can transfer the full Bu warranty for $500
