I use the same logic, since I have an electric lift for my engine hatch. I imagine the lift, having been installed at the factory, is indeed marine rated, but so is the starter and ignition I'm venting the bilge for... I do put my face right in the output of the blower and take a nice long pull prior to every time I start the engine though. Gas fumes are easy to detect that way. I think may be addicted to bilge fumes now.
