If you winterized your fuel system and found 4 gallons of water in the spring, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I don't think your problem is your vent line. From the fall (you winterized it), to the spring (you commissioned it) how did it get 4 gallons of water in the tank thru the vent line if it was stored out of the water? Broken vent line should create fumes in the bilge. You mentioned, no fumes. If you filled it up with a broken vent hose, you would've dumped gas into your bilge, especially if you were waiting for fuel to come out the vent. Again, was the tank full when winterized? Salt or fresh water in the tank. Just trying to help.

I've been dealing with this same problem. I have water in the fuel on every trip. It starts at the house and then starts at the dock and driving off it dies. Drain the water separator and the carb bowls a few times and the water is out. I'll have to check on the vent line situation.

We may have found the problem, corrosion at the filler and worn O ring may be letting water in. Still doesn't explain how that much water got in while the boat was under cover. The search for the problem continues.
Hoses are in good condition, vent check valve working fine and sending unit O ring in place. Thanks for everyone's help
