Bath exhaust fan source

[batt]

My 74 trade wind had a exhaust fan which pulled through a 3" line, and looked like a hair dryer with an intake and exhaust. Where can they be purchased?

I can tell you that Airstream in Jackson Center doesn't carry the exhaust pipe.

I've been wondering the same thing, though. When JC installed my new WH, that tube got messed up to the point that my mechanic disconnected the fan switch, since it wouldn't pump the air anywhere.

It's modeled after, or is, a bilge fan - there are fancy explosion-proof types for gasoline bilges and then there are more pedestrian models for diesel boats.

West Marine has some... but avoid the axial (cheaper) models - they're just too loud. Part 109910 looks very similar to mine. (1971 Tradewind).... and they have flexible hose, too.

Here's a source for a reasonable replacement fan:

JABSCO 3" Flexmount Blower - 105 CFM - 12V

This is a 3" aluminum flex line purchased at Home Depot. The seal around the floor opening is black butyl tape.
