Thanks for the info. Luckily, the dock that I refered to is at my house with no other boats in sight! It was just too stinkin' hot to be stocking the cabin without a/c (just had the boat 3 days now, so we're trying to get things squared away). I'm within a few days of having shore power completed, then no CO issues for sure.The blower is intended to vent the bilge for the gen and engines so you are not over using the blower. You're blower might be going bad but someone else can chime in on that.
More important is the fact that you are running the gen at the dock...DON"T run the gen at the dock. The CO can accumulate around your boat and others. If you have dock neighbors the CO can slip into their boats undetected --- maybe even several slips down. I don't have the manual handy but I am pretty sure it warns of this.
