I'm not sure about saddle tanks but my bow tank's vent was mounted on the freeboard area of the bow. Usually not to far from the tanks. Why do you ask?

Your fuel vent is most likely the fuel flip top... I have a bow fill and the cap is the vent as well.

A couple of mine had flush, screw in style that ALSO were vented.  ;)

i have a vent about a foot away from each flip top but they are not hooked up. I've noticed most flip tops are vented but im probably wrong

flip tops have a spring loaded gasket.  if pressure builds up it'll push out on its own.

 :thumbup:  Right on fellas for the responses

I guess my flip tops are vented but I couldnt remember last night @ 01:00 in the morning

My Tahiti had them as screw in bung type vents but I couldnt remember where on the Hallett nor do I think I've even seen any.  Not that I'm thinking about it my tanks are glassed in so must be the caps.


Anyway I really appriciate the help and info everyone tries to help with on here
