We just bought this used boat, have filled it previously, and had a mechanic do some sealing work on the exterior of the boat. He had to pull the outside part of the motor to determine where we were getting water in our bilges.
I went to put fuel in the tank, having done this previously with no adverse results, until my better half told me to stop. She could see fuel leaking out of the starboard side. When I got in the boat, I went to the cuddy cabin and found a hose that linked to that (vent). I see that it is the original hose from 1985. I do not understand why it would be letting fuel out of that vent. What do I need to do to fix this? What is this hose exactly? I guess I will have to pull the hose with a stringer if I need to replace it. I am going to go out and take a closer look, I could and would appreciate any advice and help you all can give.
Thanks
