This often causes additional damage to the motor’s lower unit, costing up to several thousand dollars to repair. When I dropped back to lower horsepower two-stroke motors, we started seeing failures,” said Brad Stahl, founder of Piranha. It came down to higher harmonics and vibration in the two-stroke motors.”

The modules – which combine air ducts, air conditioning coils, filters, damper door mechanisms and a blower motor – are installed behind the instrument panel on several popular models. The supplier molds two housing components using a 20 percent talc-filled polypropylene — one for the HVAC parts and one for the blower motor — then assembles all of the components to produce a single module.
