Blower Motor Venting

Post by sdsurf »

Good Morning

On my '77 Carver 2276 Camper, I have the engine venting at the stern of the boat. The hose is still intact on the port side for make up air but missing on the starboard side for the blower. Is there any particular place this should run or length? It is about 3' from the vent to the bottom of the hull with the manifolds close to the transom

The blower is or was mounted on the inside of the transom and exhausts through the vent plate in the transom. It was a bulkhead mounted blower. Vent hoses go from the clamshell vents down along the transom and terminate a few inches from the hull bottom. Vent hoses for incoming air run from the moulded vents on the side of the cabin down to the bilge.
