Mainship 30 Pilot II since 2015. GB-42 1986-2015. Former Unlimited Tonnage Master
The item in question is the stainless mushroom tenk vent to the right, of which I have four of this 2005 Mainship. If knew who made them, I MIGHT be able to find out how they are supposed to be serviced, or not. Anybody?

Typically that type of vent fitting is used on Fuel tank vents. They often have 2-3 screened openings in the side of that center section and unless there is a problem don't need to be serviced.
 
No idea if this is the manufacture but they make many vents types and the have good info on their web site so perhaps it could help.
 
Apparently not Whitecap, but thanks.

Mine are all fine, but someday they may not be, and I want to know if it will be possible to repair rather than replace them. I have seen some with a hex socket in the center for ease of removal to clean and maintain, but I have no intention of replacing perfectly functioning vents.
