Anyone know the size...???

... of a standard deck water filler plug? Filled up recently, to find the O ring drop off the filler in bits, and forgot to measure the OD of the screw thread bit... inch and a quarter? inch and a half?

Thanks in advance...

The following doesn't answer your question but may help

I put on a 32mm from the tractor box. The cap no seals properly but a bit higher than before.


But.... I think that fillers come in different sizes. A small box of many different sises is a bout a fiver at a farm suppliers.

I think that this is correct, I had to take my old one over to the chandlers last year to get the correct fitting, some were around 32 or 35mm and mine was 38mm.

If it's an Easy Deck Filler then the cap has a flat seal not an O-ring http://www.force4.co.uk/spare-seal-for-easy-deck-filler.html?sqr=850324&#.WVUFi7gsrkc

Thanks all, I guess I'll wait until I go aboard at the weekend and measure... as I should have done first time. I'm not happy paying marine prices when I got a number from a bearing supplier for a donation into the RYA tin!
