I'm very satisfied with how the bilge blower turned out. It puts out a significant amount of air. I debated how to have it turn on: temp sensor, switch on the dash, or switched on when the car is turned on. I decided that I wasn't too sure of how reliable a temp sensor on the motor might be, and I didn't want to trust my forgetful self with a dash switch, so I opted for it activating when I turn on the car. If heat may have been a problem before, I don't think it will be now. The one problem I have with this whole setup is that it is kind of noisy.....
The car also handles better with the one battery moved to the back. The height in the back is now exactly at stock height and a half inch lower than stock height in the front. In any case, I'm ready to start commuting in it again. I was starting to get EV withdrawals...
