    Fellow Beneteau 331 owners - Engine Compartment Ventilation

    Hi all again - looking for advice from the East Coast B331 collective. I know that in the States, the US version of this boat has a fan on the large duct from the engine compartment exiting at the stern. Mine does not - should it? Does yours? Thanks in advance! Rgds Still Grinning
