If you go to Sea Ray's website you can potentially download the manuals. They usually include an illustration of the bilge venting....
 
Neighbor has a 85 SeaDancer. It's different than yours but if it will help I will be down there tomorrow
 
Not sure if the same, but have a relatively simple drawing in our '81 manual that somewhat shows it's routing if it helps? It is for a 270 which was the platform our 245 was built from. We are midway thru stringer replacement or would send some pics of it. Basically, the side vents both run back to the transom and down to the Y pipe. The blower pulls air about 6" from hull drain and out.

I am sorry to be a bug but I am restoring it to give it to my kids I have but it needs a lot of tlc so all the help I can get is appreciate
 
The photos really don't show the tube routing.

His forward faceing vents have a short tube to direct the fresh air across the top of his engines.
His rearward vents have tubes running along the upper sides of the engine room to the front lower to almost bilge, each has a blower fan mounted on the stringer.

It's very tight down there and his tubes are well hidden.
 
Mis-named as a bilge blower it`s actually a bilge sucker.It pulls fumes out of the bilge. forward facing vent above the bilge, rear facing vent from the lower part of the bilge

Penniar, I did something a little different. All four of my tubes are flexible Stainless Steel. All four have fan motors. Virginia summers and the air is heavy with humidity, and as a old fireman, more air is good air. Two motors and a Genset plus twin fuel tanks, it just gives me piece of mind.
