FUMES IN ROD LOCKER

[ROB FAIRBURN]

I have a Nitro 700lx.when boat is stored in garage I can

smell gas fumes in the rod locker.but I dont see any leaks

in the tank or lines.

Check your bilges for gas. The rod lockers on my 170 drain into the bilges via a little hole with a plasic grommet in it. The fumes could have seeped in there from that.

ROB,

My 170TF has always had fumes in the rod locker and I think others have said the same on this board. Do a search for "fumes" and maybe more info will come up.

I've heard people say my rods stink but I thought they were just commenting on the cheapo gear. Dang, I may have to check for fumes now too ;-)
