How well does your blower work?

Re: How well does your blower work?

Hey QC,

Only reason I could think of to have a hose on your "passive" vent is if the vent is located in a low pressure area when the boat is moving. In that case it would suck fumes out of the bilge when the boat is moving, same way that rolling a window down in a car a half inch or so will pull cigarette smoke out.

Other than that the hose would just be restriction (probably not much of one though at the velocities its seeing) to your blower input.

I think the hose is there to catch whatever little thing the kids stuff in the vent, instead of it going down under something in the bilge.
