Filling up my boat with gas is taking a LONG time.  I have to stop every half gallon and let the fuel go down before squeezing the nozzle again. I never heard of fuel vents before but I'm assuming that is the issue .. those two bolts on exterior of boat?  Is that where I should start first?<br />
<br />
Are these difficult to replace/clean?  Also<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"> is there a hack or workaround</span> to fill the boat up with gas to get me through the weekend until I can order parts and wrestle with this problem?<br />

Thank you very much!<br />

[attachment=1633][attachment=1633]I been trying to locate the source of a small leak, since I like to have a clean dry bilge. Finally I was able to trace the leak back to the screws holding the exhaust bezel on the outside of the hull at the waterline. Depending on how the boat is loaded fuel etc, changed the severity of the leak. I suspect the screws were bedded with caulk from the factory and it aged over time. Hopefully this will save someone else some time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Question for those 4400/4700 sovrans and possibly other models...the metal bracket mounted to the back of my main engine hatch which the top of the gas shocks attach to has pulled out from it's mounting position. The last time I lifted it, the eight screws pulled out of the fiberglass and the adhesive had no adhesion to the metal. To fix it, I sanded down to the fiberglass and sanded the metal then wiped both with acetone.  I then filled the holes with two part epoxy and let cure.  24 hours later, I applied epoxy in between the bracket and fiberglass before screwing into place.  After allowing it to cure 10x longer than the stated cure time, I tried lifting it again and it immediately separated with no epoxy adhesion to the metal bracket. The epoxy specifically lists fiberglass and metal on the instructions.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else experienced this and found a good fix?]]></description>

Does anyone know how to replace it?<br />
It has a code stamped on it, but I don’t know if its a Tiara item, a Cummins item or a third party.<br />
Local hardware can’t duplicate because its so bent and they don’t have the blanks.<br />
Thanks in advance.]]></description>
