I had a similar problem last season when I topped up the tank up to the cap after the boat was taken out of the water. Never had even a slight gas odor during the season.

Here was my way of thinking when troubleshooting the issue.

Since it was not a problem until I topped up the tank most likely the leak was somewhere is hose between the deck fill and the tank or in the joint. The latter was more likely as rubber hose joints tend to start leaking just a little bit if stay dry for extended period of time. I'm seeing that with my other gas engine tools.

Also, the previous owner mentioned that he relocated the deck fill hole. Apparently, he never tested if the joint was tight.
So, I tighten the joint as much as I could. Also, I try to not fill up to the very top since then. The problem disappeared and never happened again.
