Fuel filler cap replacement
Submitted by timboon on Sun, 2017-11-12 10:37
Crew,
My deckie accidently forgot to put the fuel cap back on the craft on the way through Northcliffe yesterday ( the silly bastard ), I'm sure it is not that uncommon, just wondering where crew are buying replacements?
Its the under floor tank with black placcy fill point on the Gunwale...
Of course the cap didnt roll into the boat it fell off when we moved off.....

They sell the whole lot not just the cap though. I lost mine and replaced the lot because there was a cap keeper cord on the one they sell, won't lose it again.

I had to do the same.
Couldn't find the cap so replaced the whole lot.
Worst part was I lost it on the first day on a 3 day trip to walpole.
That night we fashioned up a plug out of a tree branch with a knife and some plumbing tape. Dodgy but the fish were biting
