I pretty much run mine non-stop unless I'm on a long trip on-plane. It's habit...

Same routineI turn mine on before I start the motors and leave them running the whole time the motors are running.
On four minutes before starting the genny - genny runs the entire time away from the dock - back into the dock and shut down genny, and shut down blowers four minutes later.
I also confirm air is coming out both port and starboard blower vents. If a blower takes a dump, who cares - easy to replace, inexpensive, and cheap insurance.
Less than $200 each for a 10,000 hour blower motor - if a gasser - why wouldn't you run it all the time?

Is this quiet? Or just a better CFM than other blowers.
Always let ours run...also to evacuate heat in the engine room.
I do. Replaced the Atwood inline blowers with Jabsco squirrel cages. Can barely hear them.
Which jabsco blower do you have? The 35770-0092 takes 11A. The stock 310da blower only uses 4A. Running both blowers on genny would cost you 22A. That would make the stock 30A battery charger pretty much worthless
Years ago I read somewhere that you really didn't need to run the blower after you got going. Something about the amount of air the engines use is enough to evacuate the engine room. I usually forget to turn it off though.
