Deck Fill Source ? Or fill and re-drill ?

Pearson P303 Titusville
At our last pump out, the waste cap was frozen so tight, it broke into a million pieces and also damaged the threads on the deck fill (ok, I damaged them getting the cap remains out).

Unfortunately, on our P303 all of the deck fills have a 3-1/2" diameter flange and a 2" hole on the inside of the cabin. Almost all of the new fills are a 3" flange and take a 1-3/4" hole.

I was lucky and found a waste fill (Whitecap) at West Marine with the dimensions needed, but now am wanting to replace the 30 yr old water and diesel fills.

Does anyone have a source for deck fills of the appropriate size (no, I don't want to use a "waste" marked fill for the water) ?

Or should I try to fill the existing deck area and re-drill for the newer dimensions ? If so, what would be the best way to fill the gap ?

Thanks!

Thanks Rob!

The Whitecap on doesn't work - flange too small and the diameter through the deck is too small. I had measured one of these previously.

The Perko one may work, I had an eBay seller confirm the through deck diameter is 2" and the flange is 3-1/4". I ordered it and will post here if it's suitable.
