Uh yes... That would be... unpleasant. I'll be careful whatever I do.
Right now I have to figure out where the vent line output is. Any clues
on where to look?


The vent thru-hull should be just below the toe rail near the tank...but
because people do strange things in their efforts to direct odor away
from the cockpit or portlights, it could be anywhere on the hull, even
the transom. Easiest way to find it: it'll be the smallest diameter
line coming off the tank, either on the top of it or at the top...follow
it to the hull.
