Engine Bay Blowers!

[Scubadoo]

Hi,

Been off-line for a while due to work commitments and can't believe the amount of outstanding posts (10,000), boy have you lot been typing - well I've got the winter to catch up.

Having a email conversation with one of the boating forum guys about the Sealine S24 engine blowers. We both have our engine bay blowers set-up differently, his sucks and mine blows, so who is set-up correctly?

Regards,
RM.

Errrr! Shouldn't it suck out thus expelling nasties? Fresh air then comes in through the vents.

You need to come more often. There was a thread, sorry long thread a bit ago. Do a search for it.

Not sure if mine are correct(not Sealine), but I have 2. 1 sucks fresh air in and blows across engine bay, t'other sucks out of engine bay and blows fumes to outside. Probably this just confuses more as there are also vents in there also.

i don't know about blow but i do know that byron, hlb & h00 suck".

I see no signal!!

At least one manufacturer says : don't have blowers on at all with engine running-danger of damaging blower motors.

Soooo.....only use is to extract fumes b4 starting/working on engines.

Who is this Bruno geezer anyway.........

.............seems to have done a bit of a trawl round posts last night being generally pr*tty.
Have you looked at his profile? We know Titch is who she says she is but is Bruno possibly bogus........?

I find it increasingly strange that whenever bruno is online, so is dinghy and when one logs off, so does the other. They are rarely on alone....hmmmm? Could they be even closer than Bally Bollinger Boundahs..what?

[Bejasus]

Whilst Bruno and Dinghy blow...hard!!

Just ignore him....he'll thrive on attention.

I believe it's much better to suck the fumes out, you know where they are going.
If you blow fresh air into the engine space, you have no control where the fumes are pushed out, unless you have a sealed space with a dedicated outlet.

Perhaps I am wired up wrong and both should be sucking from the engine bay and blowing out?

Even more strange. If as he says. He has a Princess 65. Has it got PETROL engines?? Or why a blower. Sounds like a lot of hot air to me/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I had a large trawler yacht 60' and that had engine room blowers ( out ) . They were intended for hotter climes, but were useful to cool the engine room before walking in. Those were the days!
