Would it make more sense to suck out the smoke or bring fresh air into the Engine room full of smoke?
Pushing air into the compartment would mean some of the smoke might get pushed into the rest of the boat such as through the open E/R hatch. Seems to me that pulling air from the interior of the vessels and pushing the smoke directly outboard might be more effective. And of course if there is any toxic components in the smoke, you get it away from the boat faster.
