Re: I/O Seacraft Do I Need a Blower?

. . does it make any difference where the blower is mounted? [QUOTE]
Terry - this is probably a nit, but most pumps and blowers are slightly better at pushing a fluid than sucking on it, so it's generally best to put the blower at the bottom of the hose. If you put it at the top of the hose, there will be a pressure loss on the suction side that will reduce the CFM compared to what you'd have if you mounted blower in the bilge area.
Regarding your vents on transom cap, one should face forward and the one with blower attached should face rearward.
