Comments about Attwood Attwood Flush Mount Fuel Tank Vents:
I love the way these look on my boat and since they are flush, they don't interfere with hanging fenders. I used 2 straight vents for my black water and fresh water tanks and a 90 for my fuel tank. My old vents were plastic and they were corroded and broken. You will need a 1-3/8 hole saw if your hole is not big enough to install these vents. It is difficult, if not impossible, to center the hole saw without a pilot hole, so I cut down the flange of one of my old vents and used the old vent to pilot the hole. These come with a rubber gasket for the inside and out. I used 3M 4200 to seal the outside and the fiberglass where I cut through the gelcoat and used only the one gasket on the inside. The center of the vent is removeable to clean or replace the screen once the vent has been permanently installed. This was a much easier install then I thought. I replaced 3 vents in about 15 minuits once my pilot was made.

Comments about Attwood Attwood Flush Mount Fuel Tank Vents:
Well made, nice finish, works well. Requires a larger hole than the typical vent it replaces, which is a little problem using a hole saw to drill a bigger hole, as there is no pilot hole to center the saw on. Overall makes a nice smooth appearance on the hull side, nothing for fenders or lines to catch on.
