Default Another blower option

I went to my local boat shop and bought a 12 volt 3" bilge blower. It puts out 145 CFM and cools my J600 down in about 20 seconds. I had some 3/8" ply laying around the shop, an old rechargeable 12 v gel cell, an old cupboard handle, some black paint, wire and a switch. I made the stand fit the jet so I don't have to worry about hoses. Just set it on the ground, hit the switch and it cools the turbine down in no time.
It also has external jacks so the gel cell can be charged. It can also act as a power supply for a fuel pump or power panel.

Blower on the ground in front of the turbine.
