A bit of patience and avoid the Harp.
Hi Guys.
Not so common sense.
If you enter a boat and even have a hit of gas smell DO NOT TOUCH POWER SWITCHES....DO NOT TURN POWER ON...LEAVE OFF....open forward hatch, lazarettes, if your steps cover engine compartment remove them to let air flow through, lift out bilge flooring, and leave companionway open....Do not even touch the blower switch for 10 minutes .
If you don't have a detector, leave the boat area and come back 15 minutes later. Your nose gets accustomed to the gas smell and may deceive you. Leave for a period of time. Upon return, if you don't smell gas you MIGHT be OK to turn on the blower.
...then go TROUBLESHOOT the source.
