The blower on my 06 24 SSV just went out. Not exactly sure yet what caused it to go out but I did have a decent amount of water in the engine compartment because the front ballast connection leaked and sent quite a bit of water before the bilge kicked on. Anyone replaced one in this or a similar model?

Also, for the time being, what do you recommend to do when starting and fueling instead of the blower. Just open the engine compartment door for a few minutes?

Thanks for any help.
