I like the idea of eliminating the outside/topsides vent that could allow water in. I see that West Marine sells several of these. I understand the concept of a gas vent is that it allows air in as fuel is used, and allows air (and fumes) out when filling the tank or when the tank warms up. Where does this type of filler vent gas fumes? Could the fumes be vented into the cockpit? Gasoline fumes are heavier than air. |

Hi Rob, That sounds like the solution then. Where did do buy your fillers? |

Ken, they were original equipment on my boat(not a Cdory ).
Thataway says Perko makes several that would work for you. You can check at whatever marine supply stores are in your area. Also could be purchased on line.

I bought vent assemblies that had a built-in loop in the hardware. A heavily loaded c-dory with oem vents pointing downward will allow water intrusion in rough seas. I also put an upward loop in the bilge line so it would stop inflow under similar conditions. It keeps the floor dry unless it is raining, and then a bit will come back thru the pump when pumping stops. It was made by Atwood
