Post by: Jet Boat Maloney on August 23, 2013, 09:54:46 PM

What's the best wayy to vent my tanks? The tanks are fiberglassed into the hull is there a wayy to modify the caps?when I got the boat all the clamps were loose that connect tha caps to the tank. I don't know if that was his wayy of venting them.

I've got the billet hex with ring, comes with a screen and vent under cap...nice clean and low unlike the flip top.

I drilled out the rivet that holds the two discs together on the cap and it seems to of fixed the problem.

I had the flip caps. I was getting water in the tanks when I would turn. Replaced them with the vented ones from Rex marine. They vent good but I still get water in the tanks. Not as bad though.

I tend to drive and straight for some reason that's the way my boat likes it. It seems like it either whips right around or struggles. Wondering how a skag would react.
