I have an '89 TriStar 190 w/ closed bow. I'm currently re-carpeting the entire boat(thread and pics when complete :) ) But, while I've got the whole boat taken apart, I wanted to replace all of my vent hoses. They are all cracked, broken, missing, or in general dis-repair. I am going to order the 3" hose(http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MPI402-30000) from SkiDim to use as replacement.
My question is: where do these 4 lines all end? There are two vents port and starboard at the rear of the boat. I think the one on the starboard side would be the blower exhaust hose/vent(as my blower is installed on the starboard stringer next to the motor. That still leaves the vent and hose on the port side? This one is currently missing completely so I don't know for sure, but was thinking possibly it could be fresh air into the bilge?
Also, there are two vents/hoses, port and starboard, at the front of the boat. Right now the 2 hoses connected to these front vents are just laying in the floor area under the bow. Does anyone know where these get routed to?
I have looked completely through the owner's manual and searched the site and haven't come up with much.
If any of the other TriStar 190 owners would mind taking a look when they get an opportunity I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
