I was working on installing a fuse on a new trolling motor in the forward hatch of my boat which is located right in front of my gas tank. I can see the gas fill tube and the vent tube through the hatch if I turn my head under the opening. I’d expect to smell some amount of gas down there but seeing as most of the time the hatch is closed and I have a marine battery hooked to my trolling motor, I want to make sure there is no ignition risk.
I’m probably being paranoid with a sensitive nose but I take my kid on the boat so I’m not worried about being too safe. Is there any way I can know for sure the setup is okay? If not, what could be done?
