Awesome.....That was the best info.It is definately plumbed correctly.I just finished hooking up everything and installing the new sender unit.The vent was 5/8 hose barb welded to tank and forward.I had a 1 1/2" od stainless u turn made so I could avaoid the kink that was in the original fill line.I am linking to some pictures so you all can see how it ended up.Thank you again for the quick answers....Its assuring to know that it is exactly the way its suposed to be.I could not get to the back of the original bow vent so now theres two..oh well better than another pie plate access and it was in a impossible to get to location.well now its time to scrape of the sealant and fill in the old holes on the deck so I can get everything back together.Cant wait to fill her up regular style!

I suddenly have this issue - I replaced my sender and now have trouble with fueling. I must have moved the vent hose or something, my feeling is when I filled it completely my vent line may have gotten fuel in it and has a low spot - I was going to blow it out from outside just to check that, but the sender is acting goofy so will pull the hatch - before I messed with it no problem ??
Try blowing out the vent line first a little low spot could be holding fuel - I was going to use my little 12V compressor and a noozle with duct tape

Can you access the vent hose to raise the low spot forcing any fuel back to the tank? Any chance your new sender's float is in the way of the fill tube or that the pump has too great of a flow for your hose and vent to accommodate?
