    Gas smell

    In not sure if this has been a issue with any other z19 owners but I've started to notice a gas oder in all my storage compartments. I owned a older skeeter that I never could figure out were the gas smell came from but I am just starting to notice it on this boat. Anybody that has had this issue and can point me in the right direction for a fix

    Do you keep the bilge/battery compartment open? If not, leave it open when storing your boat and you won't have any gas smell.

    Just about every boat I have ever owned has had a gas smell if the bilge lid isn't left open.

    A common issue. Check this from a tank manufacturer. http://www.moellermarine.com/custome...uestions/#perm
