[C38] Fresh water tank vent

[drawson1983 at sbcglobal.net]

Max,

My C38 "Risk Taker" has a fresh water vent on deck next to the fresh water fill. The hose follows the fresh water fill from the top of the tank up through the starboard locker. The holes in the vent are pointed aft. It is unlikely you will get the rail in the water that far forward. I have had a lot of green water over the deck but have never detected salt water in the tank. You could put a deflector over the vent but that has not been necessary on my boat.

  Hi all,

  Estancia came with no vent on the water tank. Is the same case on all C38s?? I just have a piece of hose with a check valve and that's it, so, I have to fill the tank from the inside so I can check the level. I want to install one, but because of the low sheer line, I'm concerned about salt water coming inside the vent to the tank. Have anyone added an external vent?? 

  Any comments will be really appreciated!
