REFLECTOR: Bilge/heater fan

[Terry Miles]

Rich, Damn!  Your website gets more amazing all the time.  What an
incredible job.  

Lar, you can get those fans from WestMarine.com  Search on bildge blowers.
I have a very similar setup, and I agree, plugging up holes is a big player
too.  Get good quality eyeball vents if you have the overhead ram air
plenum, and silicon around the edges of the eyeballs when you get to the
interior issues.

Larry,

See my website for details and several pictures.  On the main page  
below the main section pictures is a google search form that will help  
find little details like this. Search for "bilge" and the first link  
shows original installation with the rest showing various views in  
later years.

Here is direct link:

there are pics of the original box at the bottom of the page.   This  
one seems to work pretty well.  I get about 10 degrees drop in oil  
temps when switched on.  The  hot air can make my feet uncomfortably  
hot so I will have to sometimes partially close off the flapper valve  
to regulate.  Cabin is generally comfortable with the recirculated  
air. The key is closing off as many of the air leaks as possible

Hope this helps
Rich
