[C320-list] PROPANE VENT HOSE

[Jeff Hare]

Yea, I had concerns about this myself.

Since the transom is angled back, even a 90 degree fitting might not do a
great job of keeping it clear.  If you're really concerned about it, you may
have better luck swapping the lines between the center scupper drain and the
propane drain thru-hulls.  The center scupper drain has a more vertical
plane and will easily stay clear if the line maintains an upward slope to
the propane locker.

All it takes to do this is a few feet of inexpensive drain line and a few
zip ties (with screw eyes) for ensuring that the lines maintain proper
slopes to make this happen.

Subject: [C320-list] PROPANE VENT HOSE

Just got out of the bowels of my boat and discovered that the propane vent
hose was blocked with water and the orientation of the hose is such that the
water cannot drain out. This could create a dangerous situation if the
propane tank were to leak. It looks as if I'm going to need a 90degree
fitting oriented vertically  from the hull so that water is not trapped.
Anyone had and solved this issue?CheersJohnM1999#574
