I sweated this for a while and did a lot of research and hemmed and hawed and then just vented it out the side near the tank. Non-siphoning vent, supposedly. No water separator either, definitely living dangerously.Mojosmantra wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 9:37 pm Also, since you and Jeff are also using the Boyd's fuel tank - wondering how you guys have resolved venting the tank? I went the same route as Jeff and ordered the off-the-self version where the filler cap will be inside the hatch. I had this set-up in a past boat, but the tank was near the transom and I ran the vent up the poling platform. Black hose on black post wasn't really noticeable. Not really an option with this build since I'm not planning on a poling platform and my tank will be forward of frame B. Running it to the side of the hull seems iffy with such a low shear. A last resort would be to run it up the grab bar - but that's not really an "overboard" location and I'm afraid would seem like an afterthought.
It could theoretically suck water, but it's pretty unlikely.
Edit: I wont be going very far in rough water with this boat and smooth water should not be an issue. That's my thinking anyway.
