Just wondering, you predictor guys out there,are you're fuel tanks vented in the motor well? if not where else?my boat has it down in the well and I was wondering if thats the normal or best place for it.I try and take it easy when slowing down,but even if its a little rough it seems easy for water to get in the tank.

this is a fairly common spot for the vent, the idea is that the fuel spills into the well and out of the boat. if water getting into the tank is a problem, install a mercury water separtating fuel filter kit between the tank and the engine. that will catch any water in the tank - they work awsome. i think they are about 40-50 cdn.
