Topic:  Engine Room Ventilaton

Originator: 86 Viking Level 1 Member Date:  26 August, 2008 - 01:50 PM    My boat came from the factory with exhaust blowers in the engine room one port and one starboard, i don't know why the boat was diesel from the factory. Is there any benifit to leaving them on while underway? I would think having them on woiuld make the engine room cooler by getting rid of the hot air but at the same time would it be taking valuable air away from the engines intake?
