So happy with this boat.
Engines
Twin 5.0
Normally when the blower button is pressed, a light on the button turns green and the blower can be heard.

Currently the button is inactive.

Could it be the blower motor, the button itself or a fuse or breaker which I can not locate?

Also the hot water heater stopped working at the same time.

Any help appreciated, thanks clubsearay.
 
I had the same problem with the bilge pump switch on the helm of my 02 340 da. After confirming power behind the switch, used a jumper in place of the switch, pump came on. Turns out the switch came apart internally. Simply, unsnap, reassemble, works fine.
 
Bilge blowers work in a wet hot environment and they frequently fail. First check your breaker to see if it tripped, if so reset and try again. If the breaker is set and the blower still won't come on, the quickest way to check this is to find the blower wiring and cut the butt splices out of the line, turn on the switch and check the voltage at the wires you cut loose. If you have 12V, then replace the blower. They are cheap and not worth trying to repair.

The Atwood Turbo blower seems to hold up better and costs about $25 in the 4" size, the 3" is about $20.
 
I will diagnose this issue with your recommendations, I very much appreciate it as always. Thank you agin Clubsearay.
 
Problem solved: breaker switch, i thought they would push out further when tripped. Gave the blower breaker a push and the blowers fired up.
