Now funny thing was I went home, decided to look at my blower set up... and although my blower hose was long enough... apparently during the last service visit the hose got moved out of the way and was off to the side behind the Trim pump.... not down in the bilge where it belonged... fixed the issue and we are happy again...

Sometimes you just have to watch, and then go home and look to pick up on things.

I actually did that myself. Mine was basically facing down on the cockpit floor! But it really doesn't seem to fit if I go much lower under the engine towards the transom.
