No it's rare or non-existant to find insurance for snifferless bilges. But this doesn't prevent the skipper to ignore it.<br />They are very sensitive, and annoying under normal use.<br />As for the blowers, all vessels with enclosed fuel storage or engine compartments MUST have operational blowers per USCG laws. And they check them whenever they inspect any boat.<br /> Again, these blowers are usless unless used.

Re: Be Careful While Fueling

12footer, you are right, the USCG will check for all safety equipments onboard when they stop you on water. Things like mirror, oar, throwable floation device, fire extinguisher, and many other electrical equipment installed onboard the boat to be in working condition. It is true, if you have blower install and not use them, then it is useless.
