1997 GTX vent hose HELP!!

[Strawhat Darin]

There is a vent or breather hose in the front of my hull that is attached to port that vents to outside the hull (below waterline) the hose is currently coiled up laying in the front allowing water into hull. Can anyone tell me exactly where this hose is supposed to attach to? It’s long and can almost reach the back of the ski. However I’ve scoured the ski looking for a empty nipple or connection needing a hose and nothing yet! It’s the yellow line. And before anyone over reacts, all the gray tempo lines have been replaced except this small breather portion as I ran out line and didn’t have enough for that small part. All lines to engine and carbs (both fuel and oil lines) are new!

Could be the battery breather line

I have a 97' GTX, that line running to the back is a battery breather vent. If you're not running a flooded battery or running an AGM, just plug it, coil it up and zip tie. The little ck valve at the hull connection up front shouldn't be allowing water in, but cap the line as an extra measure.
