    Vent from Ski Locker Sac 2000 Air?

    I have a 2000 Air with bags plummed into the rear compartment and the ski locker (in addition to the sock tanks in the rear). I am adding a vent to the rear sac th is tee'd into the stock tank vent after the check-valve.

    However, I can not find a good way to run the vent line from the sack in the ski locker.

    Everything around the ski locker seems to be "sealed" off. No visible way to run a line sideways/under the floor. The drain for the glove box goes down into the floor, but I am not sure where it heads - there is no thru-hull out the side, so my guess is into the bilge. I would like to run the vent under the driver to the stock vent thru-hull for the rear tanks, but I can not see anywhere I can run the line. Any suggestions? Am I going to have to cut a hole in the floor near/under the stereo (behind the bezel)?

    The only clean option I see is to run the line back to the rear of the boat and maybe vent it out with the rear tanks, but it seems like there must be something easier.

    Any ideas?

    Update - I took a close look at the setup, and it looks like there is some space between the kickboard under the driver's side console and the bow storage compartment. I am going to see if there is way to snake the hose through there over to the stock seacock vents behind the stereo.

    BTW, is there any real reason they used two vent thru-hulls threre? It seems like over kill. I have never seen more than a trickle of overflow coming from these as the actual pressurized water overflows out the port/rear thru-hull. I am thinking I will combine the stock tank vents them into 1 thru-hull and use the other for the front sack vent for now.

    In the end (once I prove up the bg system) I am going to put an electric valve on the stock tanks and abandon the seacocks altogether so I am hoping both of those thru holes will be avialable.
