It took me 25 minutes to put 24 gallons into my 2016 Bennington SX 24 some say it’s an issue with the charcoal canister. Some say I have a clogged in the vent line. She stalls out on the lake and his suggestions would be appreciated
 
Have you checked your fuel filter ? Do you have a water / fuel separator ?
If you use gas with ethanol ,do you treat it ?

Here is a link to slow fil ups

Fuel fill slow and burps out of funnel?

2016 SX has had fuel fill problem since new. Had to dealer and just give me a different funnel. Have tried many different approaches to resolve problem. I have worked on it recently and found the vent line from fill port to tank is blocked. Dealer says that not possible! They have had it 2 times...

It could be a few different things, but with it also stalling out on the water, I would rule out the charcoal canister. I lean vent line. Maybe a kink or something that is messing up venting/pressure. Maybe air in a line? What motor do you have. If you have a water/fuel separator a lot of those have an alarm and shut down/limp mode. So that one “might” be able to be ruled out if your motor is one that would do those things (since you don’t report it beeping at you).

Is this a new to you boat so just encountering it, or are you original owner and this is a new development? That could perhaps narrow down things too. For example, probably not a kinked line if its a new problem vs having done it since new. Just trying to spit ball some thoughts in narrowing it down. However, we have much wiser/educated people in this area in the forum that will hopefully provide some guidance. Perhaps answering some of my questions above will help them narrow potential problems down for you…? Good luck!!!
