Vents for deck boats.

Hi folks, the regulations for boats with bilges and enclosed fuel tanks say that there must be 2 vents.
The only thing I see is the floor access cover that has 4 long vents in it.
Would that count as vents?.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome
If the boat has not been modified then I would say yes

I called Smoker Craft, (the owner of Sylvan) today, I was told that when built, the deck boat met all regulations.
There is a vent in the filler cap for the gas. (In fact it needs to be unscrewed and cleaned occasionally) and that the access in the floor with the slotted holes is the bilge vent!
