I dont know why you would have a vent going the port side, does not make sense cause you wouldnt see fuel coming out when its real full. Most vents are near the fill.

But it does sound like it may be clogged, then again, are you sure it wasn't the hose nozzle, have you filled before with no problem?
True....the vent is way up on the bow on the port side....I'll have to check, it maybe for the freshwater or something else. The vent must be built into the fill since there are two hoses. I'll take it off and check it for blockage.

I filled up the tank once before launching. At the gas station, and on the trailer, fill worked great! I put about 60 gallons in with no problem. Trouble happened to me both times I tried to fill up at the marina on the water. Not sure if the nozzle has a problem - why could that do it? I tried reseating it several times...moved it almost all the way out of the fill too. Just kept gurgling over like it was full, but I know it has at least 1/4 empty tank.

Thanks for the ideas.
