Bilge Blower

Should the blower side or suction side of the blower be in the bilge? I noticed recently that mine has the suction side in the bilge. I was under the impression that you want to blow into the bilge to break up any gas fumes that have settled there.

Nope, you want to remove vaporized gasoline from the boat, not blow it around to other areas. Blower should be on the suction side, and you verify that it's blowing by putting your hand in front of the external vent after you turn it on.
