my 35 and the 42 does same thing. Even at slow it will still bubble out when full. Sure would be nice to let her rip and not worry about it.

Same problem here! We're moving the fuel vent lines into a burp chamber away fron the fill nozzle. We're also cutting the deck and mounting some adult sized fuel fills facing upwards instead of the goofy angle they are now.

Gotta fill slowly too. Other wise it pours out the vent. On land, I listen very close for it to gargle, then go slower for the next 25 gals.
I can see both of my hoses going to the tank. No bends, kinks, nothing.

try having to do that with 300 gals and 4 tanks with seperate fuel fills.......BZ

Around where I boat (inland lake) you DO NOT want to fill in water if at all possible. 3/4 of the season it was $4.69/gal for 89. This year..who knows

Oh man. I paid $3.80 a gallon for premium at my marina and they are a rip off. Most places were @ $3.55
