Bilge blower configuration

[Chrisvr6]

I have one bilge blower on each side of my engine room. Twin 5.0mpis in a 02 Searay 280 sundancer. Is one blower supposed to be sucking out fumes and one sucking in fresh air? To make a draft correct?

In my opinion, both should be evacuating the engine bay, and from the lowest point feasible.

Ayuh,.... I agree with Rick,.... (edit,.... 'n Ed,....)

The blowers pull air out from down low in the bilge,.....
The forward facin' static vents supply fresh air,.....

Just make sure you have plenty of fresh air coming in as the engines also pull air out of the bilge.

that is, lowest point not covered by bilge water.
