In gasoline-powered boats, the blower should be operated before starting the engine and for a few minutes afterward to remove any potentially explosive vapors from the engine compartment. It's especially important to use the blower after fueling the boat and if the boat has been sitting for an extended period. Additionally, the blower should be used whenever the boat is in operation to ensure proper ventilation and safety. Regularly checking the blower's functionality is also crucial for safe boating practices.

The manual on my 18' Larson says 5 minutes, but I never run it that long. If you smell gas it's better to be safe than sorry!
To remove fuel vapors
Operating the exhaust blower before starting a boat's inboard gasoline engine is crucial for safety. It helps to remove any potentially explosive gases, such as gasoline vapors, that may have accumulated in the engine compartment. This precaution minimizes the risk of fire or explosion when the engine is started. Ensuring proper ventilation is a key step in maintaining a safe boating environment.
