Hunter 306 aft vent, blower and engine's air intake

Jay, thanks! That's exactly the same with my plan. Now I need to trace the blower wiring back from the DC panel if it is still there for reuse.

If I remember, I'll take a picture of my blower setup when I next go to the boat (probably Monday/tomorrow). It's in the original configuration. I tend to use the engine blower only in the summer after we shut down at anchor, just on the general principle that we don't want that heat in the boat. I believe it's labelled "blower" or maybe "engine blower" on the fuse panel.

Here's what your boat used to look like:

Thanks, Jay!

... and here's my dream environment for working on the stuffing box. Note that someone has thoughtfully removed the ball-valve on the thru-hull, moved everything else out of the way, and even cleaned up and oiled the stuffing box threads for me!



Ok: so I'm actually trying to replace 3 of my thru-hulls, which sat in bilge water too long, causing the plywood spacers to totally rot out. I think I have enough clearance to put in the triangular flanged Groco seacocks: maybe I'll post on this later.
