Continuos Duty Bilge Blowers

I don't run the blowers at cruise, as the venturi effect is sufficient
to keep the bilge vented, but it's my "operating procedure," if you
will, to operate them while the generator is running, before start-up
of course, and while idling.

==================================

Nothing wrong with that, good practices in my opinion. You just need
to get a heavy duty blower, which as you have found out, does not
apply to the plastic inline models.

Another poster referred to the engines "drawing air out of the engine
room". That does happen to some extent since the engines draw in air
through the intake manifolds to support the cumbustion process.
