Does the 1979 Baja 180 BR come with a bilge blower from the factory? It did however come with 2 vents cut out on each side of the rear of the boat. Any advice and professional knowledge on this will be greatly appreciated.

If it's an inboard outboard it came with a bilge blower.
If the only vents are the 2 side ones then usually one faces forward and the other rearward.
The one facing rearward should have the blower hose attached.

Does the dash have a Blower switch? Probably not if the Force 150 outboard powers her.

It is an Force outboard and it has vents on the rear starboard and rear port sides and they are screwed in the top cap of the boat will post pics in a few

No blower. The vents ventilate under the splashwell and there is no ignition source unlike an I/O with a hot motor.
