Hi Derrick

there is, or was, a vent hose; a red rubber about 1/4" I.D. line that 
originates from the aluminum inspection plate and then snakes it's way 
forward to the chain locker. For years I had an extension on mine that I 
would grab and feed through the deck cowl when filling the water tank. I 
have since installed a through hull vent with a gooseneck.
