Howd ya do it

[FELLOW-SHIP]

On my 23 CC outboard I cut a vent under the center consol just above the fuel and air lines 90 degree hose bracket that go into the tank. Because it is under the center consol no water gets into the area and the vent allows ample fresh air entering into it. There is access to let the air out bother through hatches in the deck bilge area and under the two storage compartments at the transom. I also have the big door that opens from the front of the center consol and another smaller door at the back of the center consol as well. All in all for a outboard that’s plenty. As for the moisture issue if you have used epoxy to laminate all your wood you shouldn’t have a moisture problem and if you didn’t laminate your wood you will have a moisture problem no matter how many vents you have. If I had a inboard gas or a i/o I would use a blower after I had the engine compartment opened and checked for a good long time.
