When I replaced my leaking aluminum tank I used a plastic tank, luckily
it's translucent enough that now I can just look at the tank and see the
level. I never go closer than 1" - 2" from the top when filling.

Jonathan,
I rely mostly on sound and looking down the fill pipe when the pitch
changes. Far from perfect!

This explains why I never get any fuel dripping out of the vent
before the fill pipe overflows! How do others make sure the tank
is full without causing a small spill? (Especially with a less
than sensitive fuel gauge!)

I finally crawled into the lazarette this weekend. The vent hose
is looped under the coaming on my 35/3, so the loop is nearly a
foot higher than the thru-hull under the toe-rail. Once again,
the guys in Niagara on the Lake got it right!

The trap would answer the question if the water was in fact
coming in the vent line.
If it was, it might identify the conditions that cause it.
I could imagine water splashing in a few tablespoons at a
time, but not causing an
issue until enough accumulated in the tank to get picked up.
That would leave the
owner wondering how a gallon of water got in.

While we're on the subject, two other things to check:
1. Fuel fill cap gasket o-ring
2. Fuel fill cap if plastic. It could be cracked.

Michael,
I can see what you were going for and I think it would
partially work.
Ideally a larger drop-out tank could be attached to the
drain fitting and a
fluid sensor added. In my case it seems simpler to just
re-plumb the vent
inside the adjacent propane locker or up a lifeline
stanchion. I don't
think it would out perform a centerline vent loop either.
