Hello all: I am in the process of cleaning up the electrical on my trawler and removing all the old dead and unnecessary wires etc.
I have come across this "Funky" array attached to the two bilge blowers. Does anybody have any idea what they are for? My best guess is they are resisters used to slow down the blower motors. They do run quite slow and quiet.
Also I have been told on a diesel boat the blowers should blow in to bring fresh air into the engine room instead of exhausting air because you are not concerned about explosive gasses. Is this the case? The blowers do blow in but not into the engine room, into the empty spaces under the salon and aft deck floor.
Thanks in advance
