I have a marine air E16FD evaporator that the blower wheel somehow became dislodged from the motor shaft.Either the hub spun or the shaft broke.I can't see inside the air discharge opening to determine which.I pulled the evap from the system thinking that I could get a better look.The housing to the fan motor/blower wheel is rivited on.Before I drill out all the rivets to remove cover…is the blower wheel and or motor still available.

I tried to google marine air to see if I could see any information there but I couldn't find a link to their site.

Sorry Tim…Had a bad case of flu last week and I guess I some how jumped over you in my catching up…

Usually the cage hub is set on the shaft with a Allen head screw on a flat part of the shaft…It could have come loose….I have never seen a hub spin or a shaft break.

Marine Air or Cruisair is no longer offering Replacement blower assemblies with the older shaded pole motors (they have switched to all split capacitor high velocity blowers) and to adapt one of those to your unit will likely cost more than you old air handler is worth putting into….Looks like the new blower kit for a 16K starts around $645.00.

If your unit is in good shape…You may want to try http://WWW.Grainger to find something close to what you have….It needs to move at least 535 CFM and no more than say 560 CFM.
