2004 396 Carver motor yacht..Generator is working fine, but the blower does not come on ...There is also a switch on the helm as well as on the breaker panel, but still does not come on...Recently had work done on the port side starter...Could there be a connection, as we did not have a problem before..

sounds like you have verified your blower breaker is on and sure someone may have accidently dislodged a crimped connector or pulled a wire loose near the blower. if it was working before the work theres a good chance thats probably what happened. just grab a flashlight and take a look around the blower wires for any wires or connectors that are loose, etc near the area

Can you tell me where the bilge blower for the diesel generator is located on my 2004 396 Carver Motoryacht

I don't think you have a separate blower for your generator. Typically it's the same blowers you'd turn on prior to starting the engines.

There are four blowers...wanting to check wires & wondered which one is for the blower...

I assume all 4 "Bilge Blower" breakers at your electrical panel are turned on. When you turn the blower switch on, whether the generator switch or the one at the helm, do ANY of the blowers come? Both switches should turn on the same blowers. There is no specific "generator" blower.

You may want to follow the wiring from the blowers and see if there are any plugs along the way that may have been disconnected. The next thing to check would be if there's 12 volts actually getting to the blowers. This can easily be done if you're familiar with using a volt meter. Turn the blowers on at the switch, then take your measurements. If there's power there, then the blower/s likely need replacing. If there's no power at the blower/s, then you need to trace back to the source until voltage is observed.
