Easy Blower Test

A few years ago, on a whim, I turned the blower on and then went to the bilge and put my hand over the end of the tube. I didn't feel any air being pulled by. When I blocked the end of the tube entirely the blower motor did not lug down or change in pitch.

I found a large hole in the tube right up next to the blower motor.
