1974 Tri-Cabin Blower Location

Good Morning,
Was working on the boat last night and have found three blowers.
Two are located on the Port side, and are for venting the heads, and galley area, another is Starboard and vents the the Starboard engine.
The Starboard engine compartment has 2 vent hoses, one is a 4" connected only to outside air inlet, the other is three inch and is connected to the blower. My Port side engine compartment only has the 4" outside air inlet, I was not able to locate the three inch blower vent hose, or where this blower is located.
So my question is, where is the blower located to vent the port side engine compartment?
Thank you

I have only one on the starboard side same as you. The entire compartment is open through to the other side, it should be sufficent to vent both sides.

There should be another up front venting the fuel tanks/generator area too, maybe only if you have a generator.

They say in the manual, 4 min it should run before starting.

Thanks Aaron,

I guess I am in good shape, I always run the blowers for at least 5 mins before starting. And most of the time open the engine compartments just to check fluid levels and inspect for leaks.

Your boat looks great, keep it up!
