Has anyone seen this happen before?



This happened on my 24 year old ski boat over the weekend. I ran the blower a few minutes before I tried to start the engine. As soon as it cranked over and fired, KABOOM!!! Luckily no one was hurt. I cannot find any info as to why. I believe there was probably gas fumes in the exhaust that ignited, and the blower only removes external fumes.

I am unable to find a replacement. Silent Rider is out of business. Sent an email to Larry at FAE for a custom muffler quote. Still waiting on his answer.
