I was wondering if there is a quiet blower fan available. Mine is pretty loud and can get anoying at less than plane speeds. I know the noise is nothing compared to a large explosion:eek: but I am just curious to see whats available.

Re: Blower noise

You might just want to get a new one... almost any of the new models are pretty quiet, I have to feel for the air being pushed to know mine's running.

Or are you hearing the noise of the air being pushed through small vents or ducts? That might have nothing to do with the blower...

Re: Blower noise

Ralphy, We do not normally operate the blower after the initial pre-startup period. Some boat manufacturers recommend blower operation at idle, but I never saw one that recommended blower operation at any speed above idle.

this idea will cure the noise...... i've had to R&R a few for just the reason yer stating.... to much noise....... noise is probably a sign that the bush's are going anyways.... replace it.....
