Default 1996 Shabah 180 Blower Vent Disconnected!

I just bought a Mariah Shabah 180 and took it out on the lake once. I noticed my blower motor was working, but was very loud so I ordered a nice replacement. Yesterday when I went to replace it, I noticed that the ducting was just hanging and not venting anywhere! That really concerned me and I could smell the fumes buildup under the cover. I couldn't quite see where it should have been connected so I can fix it. Does anyone have a good idea where it is supposed to be hooked up, or pictures of the proper vent location(s)?

    My blower is loud but it has to move slot of air...load might be normal...I can hear it over engine at slow no wake speeds. Check for fuel leaks if you got strong fuel smell just to be safe

    I got the new blower in there and thanks to the guys here and on facebook got the duct routed. I used a Chillout brand 3" blower and yes you can hear it but man what a difference in quality and output! It's not screaming and raising hell like the Atwood blower I just pulled out.

    Mine is also detached I need to crawl back there and reattach but might as well put new hose in since I'll be back there
