My bilge blower has always seemed to draw an awful lot of current - maybe a couple of amps or so, and it even draws down the voltage on the bus when it's on. The other day I flipped it on as part of my normal starting procedure and it wouldn't start at all. I figured the motor must have been on it's last leg and was now shot.
Anyway when I opened up the compartment to take a look, I noticed that I've actually got three blowers all wired together (see pic) in the bilge. Is this normal for a 3100 open? Assuming my situation is...abnormal...what should I replace it with? Can I use something like this 4" 220CFM shurflo in line blower (
) or do I need one of the much more expensive radial style blowers?
