I have received a lot of conflicting data on when and how much to run your bilge blowers. I have information from my Sea Ray dealer, my Sea Ray's owner's manual, other boaters, etc. that conflict.
My question is.......is there any limiting devices (timers, internal temperature overload protectors, etc.) on the blowers that limit how long they run? My shut down after about 10 minutes running time in hot weather. Sometimes I'd like to run them longer like in a long no wake zone or when on the hook and the genset running. The owner's manual even says to run them when ever the engines are running! That seems excessive but mine would shut down anyway.
My dealer looked them over and found nothing wrong electrically. They said they are not continuous duty motors.
Any feedback from Sea Ray would be useful.
