[C38] FW: Blower C38

[Daniel Seigenthaler]

Interesting.  That would suggest it should be run continuously whenever the engine is operating, and particularly if someone is sleeping in the quarterberth during a transit.  Therefore I think I'll fix mine and start running it with the engine as I have no desire to replace the 25 year old exhaust system anytime soon.  

Thanks, you all are an incredible source of smart facts and great information regarding these great boats.
