- 7.4 MPI Mercruiser Inboards
Vessel: 1997 Sea Ray Sundancer 330
Engines: 1997 7.4L Mercury Bluewater MPI
Issue: Ever since I purchased the boat when filling the STD tank with fuel, I could never fill the tank at a higher/normal pressure rate or it would back wash out the fuel fill and create a mess.
I finally figured out the location of the vent hose. After taking apart the inside of the slider storage compartment in the mid cabin, I found the 2' hose wrapped in a plastic cover and zip tied in a manner that caused the hose to kink. In the photo you will see the kink. It was much worse with the tight zip ties and cover. This photo was after I cut the zip ties to reveal it.
This had to have been from the manufacture install. Over time it just progressed and kinked even further. I replaced the hose and oriented it so it will not kink. PROBLEM SOLVED. Such relief.
