Fuel fill vent
I have a 75 v20 with 20 gall. saddle tanks, I am getting water in my fuel vent in rough conditions. any suggestions on how to correct the problem. FYI when I redid my tanks I mounted vents with the screens facing down. i did not put a clamshell cover, should I have?

Did you route the hose from the vent upwards towards the gunwale before turning downwards to the fuel tank? It's like installing an inverted p-trap. Also, have the vent angled at 45 degrees toward the stern.

When I had my 75, I moved the vents up to stop fuel from leaking, andput clam shells over the vent to stop the water tfrom going in under way!!

Check valve in a vent would be bad... It needs to relieve both pressure AND vacuum.
