That's a total bummer!
How will the engine run without the blower?
Can you just bolt on an intake and carb to get back out on the water?
I think I remember when you built the engine originally, it didn't have a blower, right?

that blows in a big way. May I suggest the following modification to stop anything like that from ever happening.
Remove the stud and toss it in the garbage. Get a stainless BOLT to replace it with. Bolts with a washer can only ever fall OUT, not in.

Pulled the innercooler and intake. Pulled the plugs and took a look at the cylinders with a bore scope. All looks good!! Just waiting for the new compressor. That reminds me.....time to make a call!
