TMC Standard Marine Bilge Blower - 12V, 75mm Hose, 90 CFM RWB542
The TMC standard bilge blower is a 12V option for a ventilation arrangement using 75mm hose. Its ABS housing and mounting flange provide a straightforward starting point for planning a replacement or new blower installation.
Bilge blower with an ABS plastic housing and mounting flange. An optional mounting kit is available separately.
- Voltage: 12V
- Current: 3A
- Airflow: 90 CFM (2.55 cubic metres/minute)
- Hose size: 75mm
With a listed capacity of 90 CFM, this model gives buyers a clear airflow figure to compare with the requirements of their boat. Match the blower to the space and duct arrangement rather than selecting on voltage alone. A suitable ventilation plan considers both the air being removed and the route through which fresh air enters.
Before ordering, measure the existing hose and inspect the available mounting area. The mounting flange is part of the blower design, while an optional mounting kit is available separately. If adapting an existing installation, identify which mounting components are already present and which need replacing so the order matches the work being undertaken.
The listed 3A current is useful information for reviewing the intended electrical supply. Have the wiring, switching and circuit protection selected for the cable run and installation requirements. Arrange the connections where they can be inspected without unnecessarily disturbing the ducting, and follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions for the final installation.
For practical installation planning, allow enough room to connect the 75mm hose without compressing it against surrounding equipment. Support the hose along its route and minimise avoidable bends or obstructions. Check that the chosen mounting position leaves access to the blower for cleaning, inspection and future servicing.
During a refit, inspect the rest of the ventilation system at the same time as the blower. A damaged hose or obstructed opening may also need attention. Confirm the operating requirements in the product instructions and use the boat builder’s guidance when establishing the ventilation routine.
