BILGE BLOWER - AT-211

This part is here by popular demand, mostly for the curious, not necessarily a recommendation. If you would buy one of these, the model 4000-SII detailed here is perhaps the one you would want, as it is lighter, quieter, and draws less current than other competitive models (as date of posting). It could be under $30 delivered, so not much point in buying a cheaper model. I have not done this, so I will leave it up to the visitor to determine how it might be used.
