Default Outlet for bilge blower in 26 foor sailboat.

Planning the installation of a 12 volt bilge blower in our 26 foot
Westerly. The boat has a single cylinder diesel; also a propane cooker
that is always turned off at the bottle in the lazarette when not in
use.

The blower is an electric fan constructed in a plastic tube"rule: In-
line Model 140 3 inch", the whole thing being about the size of a
small coffee can connected at inlet and outlet by 3 inch plastic hoses
(similar to those now not recommended plastic/coiled spring hoses for
a domestic clothes dryer. Ours home located dryer now replaced by a
flex-aluminum hose to better comply with house insurance requirements)

What would be suitable location for the 3 inch diam. outlet?

A number of people with my model mini-cruiser sailboat use the 'clam shell'
soft plastic vent installed high on the cockpit seatback.
