Blower question

On my 1984 Commander 410, when I turn on blower, how long should I leave on?

Just when I start up the engines?

or

Leave on as long as engines are on?

Most blowers are only designed to be used part time.

Typically they get run at least 5 minutes before startup.

Like Tim mentioned, it's wise to run them below a fast idle when your deec scoops aren't able to bring in adequate fresh air.


That said , I'm a big fan of upgrading to continuous duty blowers.

I prefer to leave mine on always whenever running my boat.


Running blowers that are not rated for continuous operation can lead to overheating the blower and or circuit.
