I have a 2000 Outrage 18 with 2005 mercury 150 EFI saltwater series 2 stroke. Replaced the fuel vent with Whitecap stainless gas vent straight 5/8 in Oct. 2012. The screens have already corroded away. The engine run great no issues.
I'll replace again but with what. Can not do this every season. any suggestions? I live on Cape Cod. Thanks

Hi, I have a 1999 Outrage 18 like yours and changed the gas tank vent from the original to one made by Moller. Seems to be a chrome brass fitting with stainless screens. So far so good after almost two years and running in salt water environment.

Thank you for the info. I'll try one and see how it goes. To bad replacement screens are not an option. My vent is a real pain to replace.
