AR250 Mystery Hose

[Gooch]

Hopefully you can see what I am asking about in this picture. There are three hoses that look like dryer vents. One has a blower for the engine compartment. Another has a blower and is attached to the starboard engine. The third on the port side isn’t attached to anything on either end.

Is the third hose supposed to be attached to the port exhaust? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it go through the compartment wall? It might be to draw fresh air in and direct it towards the floor of the engine bay.

No. It wraps around to about where the engine compartment latch is and just stops. A couple of zip ties are holding it there..

I'd have to look at mine but it could be that it isn't attached to the vent on the port side behind the stern speaker on the swim deck. If I recall correctly that has the mesh and the hoses go connected there. The starboard side is where the blower pushes the fumes/heat out of the engine compartment while the port side is the intake when the blower is on or off.

Oh. Ok. So it probably just disconnected from the fresh air vent. Thank you very much. I appreciate the help.
