Neither is your or Shen's. A E/R blower sucks the air out. Not blow air
in. Therefore there should be at the most a slightly negative pressure.


Buzzzzzzzzz!
Sorry, wrong answer.

Maybe on your 18 foot bow rider.
But there are many boats that use blowers to bring air out AND in. And

some
(the Lazzaras come to mind) ONLY bring air in to positively pressurize the
engine room. If the inlets are filtered/baffeled correctly it keeps dirt

and
salt out of the engine room.

Do a search for Delta T engine room fans.

We are talking of 14-25' boats here. Big commercial boats, or 50+' yachts:
different story. They also do not have a 3" or 4" attwood fan.
