My Blower Motors Are In Two Locations...one Should Be On The Passenger Side Behind The Back Seat...( Remove The Back Seat...you Should See It.) ...and The Other Should Be On The Driver Side....under The Motor....pull The Motor Cover....and You Should See It Down There Somewhere...by The Driver Seat...on The Floor...you Should Have A Small Round Plastic Lid......lift That Off ...and Look In ....you Should See Your Bilge Pump..if It Is Like Mine....hope This Helps....

Although I don't have a Comp, but a SunSport, I'm sure they're similar. The first blower (engine compartment) is usually on the right side somewhere near the front motor mount. On the intake side (at least on mine) there is about a 5 inch section of loose hose that is screwed to the inboard stringer just above the floor. That allows any vapor that has sunk to the bottom to be instantly sucked out, then transported aftward through the hose connected to the other side of the blower all the way to the rear exhaust vent.

The other blower should be located in the back to vent any vapor from re-fueling issues (leak in tank or accidental overfilling,) and acts in the same way. You also may notice a total of 4 exhaust vents in the back. The other 2 are exhaust ports for the airflow coming from the front intakes while your under way.


FYI - I added a 3rd blower. This one feeds directly into the front bulkhead area to keep it aerated and hopefully keep moisture down to a minimum. I then drilled a drainage hole in the diagonal front aspect of the bilge (in front of the pump) to allow both drainage for water as well as an an escape for the additional air flowing around the front bulkhead area. I figured that since there are drainage holes in the stringers...why not?

There was an accident in Lake Erie during Memorial day where a boat exploded while re-fueling. The Captain was killed and 2 were seriously burned. Nothing to play around with.
