Deck fill caps

Look on the SBO Store section of this site. They can probably get them if not in stock.

SBO= Sail Boat Owners (Web Site). That's the site you're reading this on.
They have a store and a parts locator service.
Go here: SailboatOwners.com store
Have fun exploring.

Isn't Green cap for diesel?

If you can't find the part you want on the SBO store, try calling them. They have run down parts for me on several occasions and they will talk you though it to make sure you get the right part. Very helpful.

Mine are all labelled, chrome looking stainless caps except for the holding tank that is white plastic.
They should have chains on them so they don't go overboard.

Around here most often the waste tank cap doesn’t have a chain on it because the adaptor required for the pump out system won’t work. The chain gets in the way.

My plastic one doesn't have one either. Just the two metal caps. I imagine they are pretty pricey

+1 on SBO store for these items. On my H31, blue for water, green for diesel and my waste water is stainless due to a need for a “sudden” replacement. Got it at WM but paid the price. Make sure New deck fills have o-rings.

Our 1991 boat has the original plastic caps that cost very little. I replace the fuel "O" ring from time to time to prevent any water intrusion; they last for years. I have a couple of spare caps and "O" rings just in case. Fuel is red, waste is black, water is blue. If you're color blind, color does not matter.

If you can't get the correct caps, then you can change the whole deck fitting to another variety that has spare caps easily available.

When changing O-rings, use Buna-N (Nitrile) for Diesel, use Viton for gasoline, & anything you want for water & waste. Do not use Viton for diesel.

Our caps are the threaded on kind, not the quarter turn. Boater's Discount in Laconner (now closed) had what I needed. Unfamiliar with the quarter turn model. The deck fixture looks like ours except for the two internal knobs.
