Rebuilding my 84 SN 2001 as seen in http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22083&PID=324344&title=1984-ski-nautique-project#324344" rel="nofollow - this thread and I have questions about the blower setup. It appears that stock was to have one hose draw from the bilge compartment and hook up directly to the blower while the second hose was passive, just hanging from the outside manifold into the compartment. Is there a better way to re-engineer this? Would using rigid PVC be better than the flexible dryer hose? I'm going to have to rebuild the plastic manifold that the hoses connect to because the connectors were both broken. ------------- - Jeff 1999 Ski Nautique |

I think the system itself works pretty well when it's intact. I used PVC wherever possible and used a heavy flex hose under the floor. That dryer hose was the weak link. I also made sure the vent system was water tight...a bigger deal to re-foamers. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

And yes, you were right about 1 static vent and 1 forced air(from scoop) vent.    ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |
