Hey RED - are you saying that you forced water into the starboard-side stern fuel vent drain and it came out of the fuel vent at the console? I'm not sure of the configuration - thought that this hose was meant to drain water that collects at the cap during wash-down or spillage when fueling. This hose should be well clamped fuel-grade rubber. Check the clamps at either end. The only other thing I can think of is if your seat anchor screws may have punctured the line as it runs along the inside starboard side under the main center grey panel.

Does your boat have the side scuppers? If you're getting water backflowing from the scuppers, then it is probably getting into the bildge through the grey panels on the deck.

Open up the inspection plate in the splashwell. Look at the seal job on your thru-hulls in the stern. Mine have at least 1/2" of Rule sealant bead around each thru-hull.

Let us know how you progress.
