Where can you get 3/4" thru-hull vent fittings. So far I have only located 5/8" and 9/16". I used 3/4" hose for both my vents. One on the starboard side and one on the port side both about 4 inches below the top of the wooden toe rail. I would like to use a gasoline tank vent for the starboard side and the regular vent for the port side that way I will tend to get flow from the port to the starboard side because of the shape of the gas vent.

Through Hull vent fitting

You're better off using a conventional 3/4" through hull fitting, such as is used for a bilge pump, air conditioner pump, etc. The filter screen on the "special vent fittings" is quite subject to being clogged by mud daubers and other "critters" that like to build nests in areas such as that.
