Bilge Blowers

[TruckerTim]

I have a 2000 450 Voyager and none of the blowers are working. Engines on or off, no air flow. Breakers in the salon panel all show on bilge blowers # thru 4 on and not tripped. I crawled behind the starboard fuel tank and I can see the ducts running the the engine bulkhead, but don't see anything that looks like a fan or blower motor. I do see a white, round connection, slightly larger than the duct... Is that the motor?? Thanks

Could be an inline blower that looks like this. I had this in my boat also. https://www.amazon.ca/Attwood-Quiet-Blower-Resistant-4-Inch/dp/B003EX02DA/ref=asc_df_B003EX02DA/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=293019546650&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3776607366153625196&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1002604&hvtargid=pla-491269384202&psc=1

Not sure if yours is the same as mine but the relays for fans 2, 3 & 4 are "slaved" off fan #1. In other words, if fan 1 does not have power none of the others will run either. I don't know if this has any bearing on your situation but it took me some digging to figure this out when I was having fan issues. Good luck and keep us posted on what you figure out.

Check out the sticky at the top of the electrical section.....

Good info there and thanks. But I don't see where anyone talks about where the relay's are for the blowers..?

On mine the relays are located right with the blowers (see pic). The relays are the little black square boxes between and above the blowers.

When I had my 450, I had to replace all four blowers. I didn't want to deal with the relays, so I direct wired them. In order for them to work I had to flip on the breakers.
On my 530, again, none of the blowers worked. This time I replaced the blowers and was able to get the relays from a local auto parts store. Now they come on when the stbd key is turned to the accessory position. The relays are right with the blowers.
