Hey gang, the Helm AC stopped working on my 43, I know it is just a blower from the cabin but I can’t find the blower motor- anyone know where it is?

On my 2003 38 Open it's behind the settee wall in the cabin on the the steering station side. Remove the settee cushions, backrest and seat, and a door (hinged in place) provides access to the blower motor... There's a vent on that wall proving air to the blower itself... Yours may be in a different place... Good luck.. M2C

Interested in this one. Mine works for a bit then trips the breaker. Been wanting to replace it but other things have taken priority.

I remember seeing it once on my 43 but now I can't remember where. I think its either behind the access cover in front of the stbd engine, behind the electrical disconnect panel in ER or try pulling the drink holder to the right of helm seat and see if you can see it (or where the vent hose leads) behind the liner. Last place I can think of is up high above the hot water heater. A cheap $25 inspection camera from Amazon may save you a lot of time and frustration.
