I had received some questions on what part were used...here is the original post
My cabin heat wasn't that good at 4:00am when I leave for work. I bought two 3" bilge fans, a three speed switch, 6 2 1/2 PVC couplers, and some hose. The fans have there feet removed, the couplers shortened a little. Remove the speaker grills, pull oout the heater hoses. One bushing type coupler goes over the heater flange coming out of the body; fan mounted on top of coupler; then a threaded coupler. Put in new hose; instal three speed switch, reinstall the speakers. Presto ! Its hot as hell!!! The fans fit perfectly behind the speakers. Installed the switch in the center console where it is easy to reach... Toast, I tried the jacket.... Yes, the engine compartment fan is not needed after this install..... After year of use, I can easily say it heats my 2x -3x faster and it get pretty toasty.. The parts are easily bought at West Marine Hardware and I think the part number is listed further along the post.... Attached image(s)
