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.

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

My buddy has a '97ish, '42 with 4 tanks. Last year at midnight, so we parked in the middle and had hoses coming from both sides.
What's up with those 2 puney azz 25 gal tanks?

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