[C38] FW: Blower C38

[Max Soto]

Dan, when I motor to an anchorage it helps for the engine compartment to be cooler, so less heat is transferred to the boat. In hot climates, like Costa Rica, that helps a lot. Plus, my engine spills some oil, and it smells, so the blower takes care of the smell...
Regards, max

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.
