Replacing current blower on my 1992 Ski Nautique,,,,

[1992_Nautique]

I’m thinking of replacing the damaged old blower. Where is the vent line typical terminated if no outside vent dedicated for it? The current simply run forward inside the motor cover. Thanks for thoughts,

Sorry no one responded - here's a bit of information that may help.

Most all ski boats will have forward air vents and aft exhausts. The forward vents are ducted into the bilge and the aft exhaust vents provide the flow through path. This arrangement allows continuous fresh air to circulate through the bilge. The blower exhaust hose will either connect direct to the vent or have the end placed near the aft pickup. Look around in the back of your boat. I never owned this exact model so unable to help you more....

On a direct-drive, you'll have a hard pipe that comes in right behind the engine on the starboard side. Run the blower hose to that. That pipe routes to the back of the boat, and out the rear vent that is under the center plate on the back of the boat.



Vent comes out here:


Here's how a blower on a 1992 should be set up:

Thank you! This information is exactly what I was looking for.
