And with any inboard boat where engine enclosed, you "have" to make sure your ventilation system works properly also, a must. You can also ask my sis & B n law, they almost bit the dust if someone hadn't walked up on them at wharf. 2minutes more, gone. they were already out and one not breathing.
If I am not mistaken, keeping the tank full will not stop algae. Either use and additive or run the engine alot to keep "fresh" fuel on board. If you are running a generator off the same tank, should move enough fuel to be ok
