We have our 185 sport stored in a garage, there is nothing else with gas in it, in the garage. I went in there the other day and there was a faint smell of gas. The boat is a carbureted 4.3l. At first I thought it was due to gas in the float bowl of the carb, but then I got thinking about it and I've had a lot of carbureted cars, toys, and lawn equipment in a lot of garages and never smelled gas. So my questions are, is this normal for this boat, and if not what is causing it and how can I eliminate it? I have things in the garage that I don't want smelling like gas and moving them somewhere else is not feasible, and neither is putting them in sealed containers or wrapping them in plastic.
