I have twin 270 Crusader engines and I usually run one at a time.
I do this for my own reasons and so I don't want this thread hijacked into the why of it all. I just do. Anyway, my question is two fold:
1). Can I run the blowers off my house batteries with the alternator from one engine keeping them charged? I'm not sure right now where they are powered from right now. I don't even know how much power they consume.
2). I usually leave the blowers on all the time I am running the boat. Some people think it is odd. I thought I was supposed to with gas engines. Am I?
Thanks in advance
