resolved. Well after i installed the new Optimax the smartguage would beep violently (well four loud beeps) letting me know i had water in my fuel. Mind you i have two brand new Moeller tanks,all new fuel lines and connections,water fuel seperator,yada yada yada!! After dumping out about a total of 25 gallons of fuel at various times i was getting mad.
Then i figured it out that in calm lake water i would have no problems but in rougher Puget Sound or Columbia River i got the dreaded Beep,beep,beep,beep! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Rougher water and whala! My fuel vents. I would never have thought the tiny holes would cause so much grief but they did. I changed them out to the Attwoods i have picture of and no more water in my fuel. The Attwoods act like plumbing under your sink while letting air in but no water. I shot the garden hose directly at them for awhile and no water came out. I think i am the only one that has had this problem. Oh by the way... with the Merc 115hp Black Stack on the same boat same setup it ran fine. Guess the ole Mercs will burn anything.
