Our C&C 37/40+ does not have a blower for the engine compartment. Other than
trying to remove fumes from the bilge, I'm not even certain how I would mount
one as the engine is well contained under the companionway stairs. We do,
however have a proper propane locker with a drain, and I am of th
Hi Mike,
I see your point on additional source of petroleum products..
Coming from a gas burning boat engine past I inquired about that when I
first got the boat, "You don't need one with a diesel" is the answer I
got. Also, there is no blower or any indication that there ever was one

Don’t disagree, but my 1983 LF 38 manual says run blower for 5 minutes before
starting engine.

Hi Matthew,
If you have any diesel smell in the cabin you should probably take a look
at your exhaust system.
I used to have an ever slight smell in mine then it got to the point where
one day, my wife felt sick from being in the cabin while we were motoring
for a while.
The problem was a plugge

I consider Persuasion a floating bomb. I carry dinghy fuel, generator fuel and
propane in the lazerette. So if you are a cruiser and carry various petroleum
products I would recommend running the blower. Also my coast guards friends to
the south asked me in a had a blower
On a hot summer evening, if you've had the engine running, and you plan to
sleep aboard, to get rid of some of the heat perhaps?
I run mine when the engine is running because it is wired that way but I
don't really need to, the diesel sucks most of the hot air out of the
engine compartment just by

I believe I have a blower in my engine compartment, but I have never turned it
on. When should it be run on a diesel engine? Dave

When to run a blower with a Diesel?
Never. That's part of the whole point of having a diesel in the first
place.

The bilge pump and blower might have a common return. Follow the (probably)
black wires from the bilge pump and the blower to see whether you have a
bad ground.
The blower on my boat has an in-line fuse, located close to the blower
switch, if you want to check that out.

I would start at the switch. See if it actually closes the circuit and if
there is any power getting to it (one multimeter lead to power input on
switch, one lead to ground). Then you'll know which way to work.

Noticed the other day that my engine compartment bilge pump and blower have
stopped working. I suspect a fuse but don't really know where to look. The
bilge pump and blower switches are both port of the stairs and within a couple
inches of one another. Anyone know where to start troubleshooting?
