Thanks Tom,
The other option is to replace the squirrel cage with an In line blower. The squirrel cage seems to be the better choice. I could add a second, in line, blower? I could increase the diameter of the inlet hose but it would shrink back down at the blower?
I think I will move the blower. Ugh! Another mod. Move the blower. Move the batteries around. Build a secure location for them. Wish I had seen this coming when I built the current secure platforms. I will be able to move the "heavy" tool box from its location under the port cabin seat to the batteries "old" location. It will be easily moved out of the way when necessary. O-well! I DO NEED THE ROOM MOVING ONE OF THE BATTERIES WILL PROVIDE. I can't get my shoulders into the aft engine space with all the batteries secured in their current operating locations. Disconnecting and lifting a 75# battery out of the way to adjust the packing nut "comfortably" is not a good option. A boat with an engine room next time!
