Had a Centaur for many years and the Tiger has similar high coamings. I'd find a way to run a duct up there and put the opening on the outside, Use a clamshell cover, open side down, to keep spray out. Looked at the brochure justt now and see a layout diagram with 2 Q berths, but no picture of them. But guessing they are similar to the Centaur, you probably could run a duct in the aft of the Qberth. Cut a hole to the lazarette, screw in a collar to attach the duct, run up in the coaming to the the exhaust hole. Clamshells come in white plastic and chrome. * Installing bilge blower on Westerly Tiger. What is best place to place the 3 inch vent? Would like to avoid cockpit area and that best would be through the lazarette and then out, high up, through the transom? But before we cut a 3 inch diam. hole in the stern of the boat!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Re the similarity between Tiger and Centaur? Hoping when I get back to it that bilge blower hose can go through the bilge to the lazarette; up through that and then to some kind of vent (probably clamshell). An alternative may be to have the hose loose in the lazarette and just drape it outside; whenever we run the blower! But having gone to the trouble of changing the manual bilge pump to a transom through fitting seesm like a nuisance. Might also reduce the hose to say a two incher, on the output side and have the 3 inch. in-hose blower mounted in the bilge without any input hose/s. Many thanks for the comments posted. |
