SEAFLO 3" 145CFM in-Line Bilge Blower Fan 12V 3.0A Five-Blade Sealed Motor Shaft for Marine Ventilation RV AU

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bilge blower fan suitable for Australian boats and RVs?

Yes, absolutely. The SEAFLO 3" 145CFM In-Line Bilge Blower is purpose-built for marine and RV applications and works perfectly in Australian conditions. It features a corrosion-resistant ABS plastic housing specifically designed to handle harsh, salty environments—ideal for coastal boating. The sealed motor shaft and front/rear shaft seals protect against moisture ingress, making it reliable for Australian tropical climates and saltwater exposure. It's ISO8846 certified, meeting international marine safety standards.

What's the difference between this SEAFLO blower and other marine ventilation fans?

The SEAFLO blower outperforms traditional alternatives in three key areas: it delivers 145 CFM of air flow while drawing just 3.0 amps (lower current draw means less drain on your battery), operates more quietly, and fits into tight spaces thanks to its compact design. The five-blade fan maximises air volume and efficiency, while the sealed motor shaft prevents water damage—a critical feature for bilge applications. You're getting professional-grade ventilation without the premium price tag.

Can I install this fan vertically or horizontally on my boat?

Yes, the flexible mounting design allows for both vertical and horizontal installation. The built-in mounting feet are engineered to secure the fan firmly on any flat surface, so you can position it wherever your ventilation needs demand. This flexibility makes it ideal for cramped engine bays, cabin spaces, or wherever you need air circulation.

What are the power specifications and will it drain my 12V battery quickly?

The SEAFLO operates on 12V DC and draws a maximum of 3.0 amps during operation, requiring a 5.0A fuse for protection. This low current draw is one of its standout features—it's energy-efficient, so you won't see dramatic battery drain even during extended use. For comparison, older marine blowers typically draw significantly more current, making this a smarter choice for extended cruising or RV trips.

What's the intake pipe diameter, and will it fit my existing ducting?

The intake pipe diameter is 3 inches (76 mm), which is a standard size for marine bilge ventilation systems. Before purchasing, measure your existing ductwork or outlet to confirm compatibility. If you're unsure, Yarra Supply's team can help—we offer Australia-wide free shipping, so ordering is hassle-free, and we provide a 30-day returns period if the size doesn't suit your setup.

How long will this blower last, and what warranty does it come with?

These design features mean it's built to withstand years of marine use.
