[Public-List] To:] Mike Lehman - Deck Drains on Liner Boat

Fri Oct 21 08:26:19 PDT 2011

I sailed on a 41' ketch where the owner had run the fuel vent about 10' up
the inside of the mast.  Short of hanging it from a weather balloon, that
should do the trick.

I did not do anything special...I figured the top of the stanchion would act

as a cap to the hose and figured there is sufficient air leaking around the 
stanchion to provide air

Did you have to do anything special to the top of the vent tube to prevent
water access into the fuel tank? I realize the amount might be minimal, but
still a thought.
Thanks.

One other important note...the vent line on the liner boats is in the
transom. The vent line on the tank is higher than the overboard vent so it
would spill gasoline when underway with afull tank. To solve the problem, I
re-routed the vent line up through a stancion to the very top and have never
spilled fuel since doing that.
