Attwood Marine Straight Fuel Tank Vent, Black Housing, Polypropylene, 5/8 in Hose

Overview

The Attwood Marine 1607-1 is a straight black fuel tank vent for boats that use 5/8 inch I.D. vent hose. It has a splash-resistant polypropylene body, meets ABYC ventilation specifications, and installs in a 7/8 inch hole on hull sections up to 5/8 inch thick.

This vent handles the airflow a fuel tank needs while filling and during normal tank breathing on the water. The straight layout works where the vent line can run cleanly to the hull side, and the polypropylene construction resists corrosion in wet marine service.

It is a practical replacement when an older vent is cracked, faded, or no longer sealing well at the hull. Boats with aluminum construction or owners trying to avoid extra metal hardware on the exterior often prefer this style for the same reason.

Key features

• Straight fuel tank vent layout for installations that do not need an angled fitting
• Fits 5/8 inch I.D. fuel tank vent hose
• Black polypropylene body with splash-resistant construction
• Corrosion-resistant material for saltwater spray and wet cockpit or hull-side locations
• Meets ABYC ventilation specifications
• Installs in a 7/8 inch hole and suits hull thickness up to 5/8 inch

Installation and fit

Before ordering, check the inside diameter of the vent hose, the hull thickness where the vent passes through, and whether your existing setup uses a straight vent rather than a 90 degree body. Those three points matter more than the outside appearance when matching a replacement.

On most boats, installation is straightforward: the vent passes through the hull side, the retaining hardware secures it in place, and the vent hose clamps to the 5/8 inch connection on the inside. This style is a good match where the hose run stays fairly direct and does not need a sharp turn right behind the fitting.

Use on board

This vent suits small powerboats, aluminum boats, center consoles, and similar layouts where the fuel vent exits on the hull side and needs a simple straight fitting. It also makes sense for owners replacing aged plastic vents during fuel system service without changing the hose size or hull cutout.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
