[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 63069, member: 751"] I must maintain boats purdy good.I never had those problems.I knew of them but thought there was more to it than that.I never had the bellows to fail,but I covered the unit with cover special made for it.I have had the flexible exhaust tubing to crack and drip.Good bilge pump.Oil changes are a pain.The boat stayed on trailer when not in use and covered.The boat I used and took care of was a tri hull.I never ran the vent fan.Instead I tilted the dog house forward while I was loading and getting ready to go out.I know,some boats have the engine buried under the deck, and fuel vapors are heavier than air so my trick doesn't work.I've seen a couple good ramp explosions because of faulty vent fans.Luckily,I've never seen anyone get hurt.Seen a few guys cry like a baby tho. :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
