Hard time fueling boat

[markman03]

Hi Guys, Recently I am having a hard time fueling my boat. The vent must be dirty. Has anyone changed the fill and vent lines on a 2110? I am going to pick up a vent and lines tomorrow. I hope it will a quick job. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a 2110 as well (2001 model). It was always very, very slow to fill from the time it was new.

I took apart the flame arrestor on the vent and found the screen totally clogged over with salt. Cleaned it up and it has been taking gas as fast as any pump can put it out for at least the last 5 years. MAJOR improvement! I believe this was a Perko vent.

You may need new lines due to the age of the boat, but if you don't want to replace them now, try checking the condition of the flame arrestor.

Did you have to remove it from the boat or does it come apart in place?

Fueling boat in the fishing section? You will have better luck in the projects section....although we do look at them all

I just unscrewed the black cap on the end of vent (on the outside of the hull) and could see it crudded over. May have to remove it to clean it depending on how bad it is, but you can see whether it is clogged while in place.
