Bildge Blower Rigging????
 

Started playing w/my 31 noticed there is no bildge blower... no hoses, "nothing". So does anyone have any pics of theirs, so I have some idea where to start.

Thank you
Randy

Randy, I am at the point in my project that I have a "bare" engine compartment. So no pics. Question is: Did the boat ever have any blowers? Look at (from the inside) engine compartment vents (two per side) and see if there is an attachment that allows you to attach a flex hose to it. If not, I can get you a part number and source.

I did find a pic of a new Awesome showing the blower hose routed to the vent attachment (black color). Do you have a switch on your dash panel for blowers?

Thanks Richard...
No there is no attachment for blower hoses, kinda tight w/Stellings by the vents. Yes there is a switch and wires in the engine compartment. This boat is beautifully rigged every thing perfect ...I think the blower were intentionaly forgotten.
But by me the coasties look for them first when you open engine compartment. I'd post pic but I haven't renewed my membership here.... yet.

No, I have #5's w/BAM 1500 trannys I will have to fabricate a custom vent attachment on the front vent. I might be able to use one like in the pictire. You said you know where I can get one?
Thanks
Randy

Randy, I think Eddie Marine has them. Not on their website listing. Their catalog has alot more of the product they carry. Can't find my catalog. Email them and get one sent out to your mailing address. Good luck with your project.

I know this won't help but I have dana flows I had to route mine from the bottom forward and back attached to sides kinda half moon shape. I had to do some cutting on the black inserts to make work. Also had to semi flatten hoses in places to make work. alt. oil filter etc. I don't have pictures boat is in nashville spending another winter being repaired chocolate milkshake again,

When Martin re-rigged the boat he did not put the blowers back. I dont know if there was a clearance problem or not. I helped Julie clean out the garage and dont remember seeing them. I keep my boat in the same garage, so next time im over i will look for them.

Seltzer,
Thank you, any luck with finding the blower housings?? I talked to Julie today
she didn't know anything about them.

Randy

I have not been over for a couple weeks.
Im gonna try to get by next week and will look around.

Randy, Did you get your housings yet? I could take some pics of the housings I plan on using. I know that they are available, just have to do some digging to find where I purchased them from.

No I haven't found them yet, any help would be appreciated. I got a Eddie Marine catalog but couldn't find them.

Randy, sorry its been so long but i went to Julies Saturday to mess with my boat and found the blower housings and outside vents.
Give me a call and ill send you a picture through my cell phone.

Thank you John.....
The parts came this afternoon, I send a check tomorrow.

Randy, have you had a chance to get out yet?:boat:

did you end up adding the blowers?

Randy,
No I haven't touched it ...... been real busy. I hope to get out in July after I'm done harvesting Aspargus. Prochargers and intercoolers are in a pile on the floor. I haven't had time to even fix the axle that broke while it was delivered yet.
