Hello All - The past couple of weeks I've noticed fuel seeping from a small capped / vented opening at the rear starboard side of the boat. The seepage seems to happen when the temps are at their warmest of the day.

Anyhow, is this opening the fuel tank vent? Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Yea the vent is usually to the rear of the boat.Most Bayliners have the tank fill at the back and the vent too.
If it's doing it a lot,you might lower the front of the boat so it sets more level.
But not so much water collects in the bow.
Or don't keep it completly full.
