Re: Fresh water tank overflow
I always fill until water starts to come out the vent tube on the side of the boat. Have done this will all my boats.
You can hear the air gurgling just before water starts to come out so you can slow down the flow.
My gauge has been replaced and works fine but you would need a second person watching it since you would overflow before you could get back to the shutoff once it reads full.

Re: Fresh water tank overflow
Maybe it is a safety concern about the vent hose getting full of water and having a small dip getting stale water stuck in there till the next fill.......just a guess on my part for why the warning.
