Posted a while back about a problem with water in our fuel. This is everything that was done to correct the problem. First we pulled the tank and made sure it was free of all contaminants. Changed the fuel cap with a new one and installed a larger vent line. So far so good. Thanks for everyones in put on this problem. It was a lot of work but hopefully it was worth it.

I had a Bayliner Maxum years ago that I did not store properly and the bilge drain plug filled with debri. A week of heavy rains and the next time I saw the boat it was full of water up to the steering wheel. I drained it and 4 months later when I went to clean it up and get it running I discovered that I had water in the fuel. I syphoned 8 gallons of water from my fuel tank, plugged the fuel line back in and she started right up and I never had another problem with it.
