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.

Denny,
Are you going to be the one to tell Carl (Moesly) that he did not put the vents on correctly

If he is at De Soto I want to be there when you have that discussion.

John thanks for the info.

Sounds like your boat matches the 21 Brochure SeaCraft 21 Brochure on Carla's website, so I guess it's in "mint" condition! The rear facing scoops would both pull fresh air in thru the engine box, so maybe that's a better configuration. We'll have to ask Carl about it if he makes it to Ft. Desoto!

This photo clearly shows the scoops on the "Unohu" faced fore and aft, and appear to be white plastic instead of chrome. Maybe Carl changed them on the '65 models or Bob changed them himself. Will ask Bob if those were the stock scoops the next time I see him. Brian, what did they look like on "Black Jack"? Denny

If he makes it to Ft. Desoto?? I hope we see Carl and Jeanne.
