Although not required for the diesel it does do a good job of removing the smell of diesel and helping with the flow of air around the engine. Just curious if anyone has installed one and if so where the exhaust is located.

Hi Guys,
 
Just wondering if anyone has installed a bilge blower in the Frers 33?  Although not required for the diesel it does do a good job of removing the smell of diesel and helping with the flow of air around the engine.
 
Just curious if anyone has installed one and if so where the exhaust is located.
 
Thanks

I acquired Risoluto with a bilge blower already installed.  The e= xhaust is located near the top of the transom inside the cockpit.
