Does onw need a blower ???
check the regs of enclosed spaces wirh gasoline and electrical equipment.
Blowers are only required w/ inboard or I/O engines. Outboard boats do not require blowers for the bilge as there is no engine ignition source. -- Tony my boats at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... harry, check the regs I read that one should run blowers to vent the gas tank area before starting the motor if you have any electrical equipment (such as a battery) in an enclosed compartment that contains gasoline you are required under regulations to run the blower for 5 minutes (?, it might be 4 minutes, who the hell remembers). Opening it up and sniffing is even better, but doesn't meet regs. That doesn't explain the hundreds of thousands of outboard boats extant that have fuel tanks under the deck, aling with batteries and all sorts of other devices, and no blowers. |
