During prep for winterization I noticed generator blower vent hose was heavy with water. Odd . I pulled and drained it and couple days later it was full again after one day of running a couple hours at 3200. no way air was going to flow through that blockage gas I run the fenerator. Will reroute and put a drain in it if needed but it was hanging low just above stern thruster power lines so will do something to resolve. Anyone else notice water in this vent line? If not. Inspect yours for water. I thought it was from washing boat but with no wash and no rain it must be coming from spray when traveling at faster speeds. I’m stumped but something to add to my daily engine compartment inspection list.
 
I have a 2024 R29S and found water in the generator blower vent hose after a cruise in some rough water. No real fix other than to disconnect and drain. Glad you posted. I investigated prior to winterization.
