Batteries vs. bilge blower

[rockinrono]

Hi All;
This is my first post on this forum. We just bought a 2006 Sea Doo Sportster 4Tec from a broker in Florida and had it shipped to Maine. We live on a big lake up here with lots of lakes all around, so I doubt if this boat will ever see the ocean. Here's the issue/question; The previous owner removed the fan assembly on the port side for the bilge blower so he could mount a second battery with a transfer switch set-up. I doubt if this would pass USCG safety inspection and wondered if I should pull out one of the batteries and buy a new fan assembly (the dash switch and the rest of the wiring seem to be intact) or leave it the way it is. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for any advice.:seeya:

I haven't had my head under the deck of a new Sportster very often... but it should only have one blower.

If it doesn't have any blowers... then no... it won't pass USCG.
