What type of blower should I use for my old '73 Aristocraft? It looks like there is an old blower sitting on the bottom left of the motor and it does not work.
A standard 12v blower with a 3" throat should be more than sufficient. Use the flexible ducting lying in the lowest portion of the bilge for the inlet side and the outlet side should be secured to the exhaust vent on the gunwale/transom. Run for 4-5 minutes prior to starting and never during fueling.
kinda an old thread. but wow bubba1235. very good job. that is in fact the type blower he needs (how did you know that, nobody has that kind of blower?). at least the kind it was equipped with from the mfg.
mj, i got me a replacement blower from aristocraft. they have them listed as a still available item..
Hey there, just to stick my two cents in, I still have the orginal blower on my 8teen. A few years back, it came loose and I never bothered to look at the numbers, but too late as I remounted it and I am too fat now to get to it. LOL Just for the record mine is a 1967.
