I have fresh water tank inside locker. Fills from top, drains from bottom. Vents from top side.
Because of size of locker, vent line runs horizontal then dips before making its way to the thru-hull vent hole. I cannot make the entire line go straight up from tank (like it should).
Problem is that when heeling, water goes into the vent line and blocks it. Pump has to work very hard for very little flow.
I am showing problem area with RED arrow.
Is there a way to plumb differently? I thought of connecting fill and vent with a valve in between or connect vent line to bilge (again using a valve)...
