So do you have a blower switch on the main panel where you start the genny from....if so try that one. I had an earlier version of that boat and there was a separate blower switch on that panel.

Actually the other question I was going to ask and forgot....this worked fine then didn't, did that coincide with any work done in the engine compartment ?
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

No voltage coming from the wire coming from the breaker to the engine compartment?

Did you get this problem fixed? I'm having a similar problem (although on a different boat). My mechanic told me that the relays are the problem, but I'm not so sure about that. I talked to Carver and they said the relays are there to shut the blowers off if there's a fire. In other words the relays will only work if the fire suppression system is working correctly. In my boat there is a fuse behind the circuit panel of blower 1. If it's blown you won't get power to the relay to actually engage them. The relay needs to be engaged to power the blowers.
