do NOT put the engine's intake in the bottom of the bilge... very bad idea... if you ever take a wave over the top and get water in the bilge your engine will die.... if you have a backfire you will channel it directly to the most likely place to have fumes
the blower ALWAYS goes on the exhaust side and needs it's intake hose routed to the bilge above likely water level... IE 6" above lowest point... intake need only be routed to the engine compartment but not down low so as not to stir up and oxygenate any possible fumes
