I have it for 3+ years. Installed it right after I bought this boat. The vent line burps water, mainly when you switch reverse/forward quickly (like when docking). The harder you reverse, the more chance the water will burp inside.
Initially I tried to run it high, but there wasn't enough room in the engine room. Then I added a bottle. You can install a standard bicycle water bottle (and a holder). You can install a barb fitting in the top of the bottle and connect the vent line there. You will have to drain the water from the bottle every so often. I did not like the idea, so the next step was to plumb it into the sink drain. This is how it is now and it works well. You probably want to have it plumbed reasonably high under the sink and you want to have the vent line looping up from that T, so that any grey water coming from the sink cannot drain through the PSS. My boat is different, so it may not work for you. In my case the under the sink cabinet is on the other side of a bulkhead from the engine (the overflow coolant tank is there, as well). If you are installing the PSS, add the retention ring. It is worth the extra $30.

I’m sold on the switch I just haven’t figured out how I’m going to run the vent line yet. Any suggestions would be great. Preliminary plan is to run it to a very small through hull at the top of the transom.
