[C320-list] Blower switch at helm

[William Ott]

I agree Jeff.  I have never used the blower for our Yanmar.  You do need to keep the blower hoses in place and un-kinked, because with engine covers in place and aft berth made, it's the primary way the engine gets air.

> Sorry to jump in on your conversation about the blower switch but curious about the blower itself.  Since the boat is diesel and the propane tank has its own drain/ventilation port, I was told by the previous owner of my boat the the blower was really not necessary to use since it's really intended for gasoline engines.  Is there any truth to this?  I’ve never used the blower based on this advice but now wondering if that’s a hazardous mistake.  Obviously flipping the blower own for a minutes is really not a big deal.
