Just wanted to post this up.
I went to my marina parts counter and asked for a vent filter and when they came back with a price of $130 I was like no thanks. I was thinking $60-70 from the parts counter would be an acceptable price but not $130. So the search was on.
I tried the DIY carbon fill and it did not go so well. I think it actually smelled worse.
So I found these on Amazon (link below) So for the money I bought 2 just in case a neighboring boater might need one in a pinch. Worked great but the end caps did not have indentations to fit the OE holder so I have one holder clip around the middle section of the filter and the other end is secured with a tie wrap. Works great. No more stink and a better value than what I could find these filters for locally.
