[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 391563, member: 13599"] could you do some photos of your current setup ? This is a good read: https://www.uscgboating.org/assets/1/AssetManager/ABYC.1002.01.pdf the blower does not go in the same compartment as your flammables. it is a 12v fan motor that goes inline sucking explosive gasses from a compartment to an area away from any ignition sources. And, when you go closing up spaces that "include" batteries and fuel - together. . . . you need to do a LOT of personal research YOURSELF to see what is the safest way, if it is even possible, to go about it the right way. one thought that just came to me is . . . . at my local metal shop, I have seen the aluminum expanded metal . . . you could fabricate your "hatch cover" with this and be safe and your kids will not have access to the compartment. Jus my Dos Centavos you may be over thinking this a little . [/QUOTE]
