Re: [OMC-Boats] Blower on '67 Johnson Surfer?

All OMC-built boats used an OMC-supplied, combo Blower/Bilge pump, operating off a single circuit and without a modern float-level trip switch wired to pump water unattended (as in at a marina mooring). So you should have a helm-mounted SPDT switch labeled BLOWER & PUMP.

While the design is sound, and rebuilding these is possible, I prefer to have these two (bilge plumbing and engine ventilation) important safety items operating independently and with serviceable modern replacements.

BTW, I've tried the popular inline blowers and IMHO, they aren't well built and tend to be prone to bearing failure and in general they are annoyingly loud. Try the Jabsco PAR Flexmount, it's built like a tank and not that much more, mine's on it's four season and I love it.

Subject: [OMC-Boats] Blower on '67 Johnson Surfer?

I have been trying to figure out where the toggle goes for the blower on my boat. When I checked the wiring diagram though it doesn't show the blower. Is there a blower on the boat or not? If there is, can someone tell me where to trace it to.
