In the pic, that's the the drain for the wet-box in the port side console. Very small diameter hose and plugs easily with crud.

If I remember right, my 98 z202 vented on the port side above the swim platform. I'm trying to find a pic of the vent, but coming up empty.

Found it!
Look at button on the port side above the swim deck. That's the vent on my old boat. Not sure about the current Jubilee. I'll have to look

My diablo doesn't have a wet box.
It has the double glove box but it lower one is just that.
The vent pipe loops up inside the port side consul then down to the front of the tank.
Maybe it's an EU regulation. My Sea Ray had the same setup.

ha. Nice. Better than sniffing gas fumes is a good sharpee or dry erase marker :D

So does your diablo _also_ have a a vent on the rear swim deck? Or just the one out the side of the hull?

If you look close at this pic, just forward of the cleat at the bottom of the red stripe, you can see the white drain button. Looks like it's in about the same spot as your tank vent. Was definitely the drain though, cause I had to unplug the line to it when I bought that boat.

Here's a pic of my gas tank vent. See the small round black thingy on the left side of the swim deck? That's the vent.

I’m starting to think they just took advantage of the existing skin fitting to bring it up to European code,
it’s the only vent I’ve got. Nothing on the transom/swim platform.

The glove box is listed as a “Cool box” in the sales brochure I’ve got.
No mention of “wet Box” and there’s defiantly no drain on it.

5 bux says the dog was driving him nuts and he put it there so the dog couldn't get to it.

If I think of it when I get home, I'll shoot a pic of the back of my jubilee. There a round knuckle (cow, pic? I don't know) sitting on the swim platform for that exact reason! :rolling_laugh:

If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a drink next time you're in Wisconsin :worry_to_laugh:
