What year is your boat? Go back to your blower motor and about a foot off of it should have splices, check those splices to see if theres any corrosion. Otherwise, probably a bad switch. I replaced mine when they started doing that and everything started working correctly.

As far as your fuel gauge goes, look at my "pretty much restoring my 2100v" thread a few under from this one and go to the last post there and see what I did to fix my fuel gauge.

Basically go to your sending unit and see what your wires and connections look like. Clean them up if needed and see if it works. If not get a volt meter and see if your getting any power to there because the wires to your fuel gauge come from there. Only other thing before that are power wires. Like I said see if ur getting power to that point. If so, its between that fuel sending unit and your gauge. If all looks well could be the gauge but unlikely.

It seems that the bearing is gone. I am looking for a replacement blower that will mount up to the bolt pattern. The engine is a 1998 350 mag tournament ski 0L009009 Any ideas finding one?

Good luck with that. They are a pretty generic fit so it tuff to find one that fits exact. Good luck. Either way its a cheap easy repair. They are usally just screwed in. But I have not worked on to many 1998 Tiges. So post a pic of the one you have.

Do yourself a favor and upgrade that blower to something that is rated for continuous use. I turn my blower on before engine start as you should and I leave it on as long as the engine is on. I leave it running to pull out hazardous fumes from fuel and to help give the engine some fresh air to burn, and to help keep the temps in the engine compartment as low as possible. Don't worry about hole patterns, they are easy to drill to mount a good high CFM fan.

What would you consider a good fan with how much cfm? I have a 165 cmf 3" now. I also leave my blower on all the time that i am on the lake. I had a issue with the engine running bad from all the hot humid air inside the engine compartment. Anyone know where to get one?
