Deck Filler

[morgandlm]

I managed to lose the filler cap from the Sowester deck filler (water) over the side. Can anyone steer me in the direction of an alternative cap that will fit this no longer available filler? Thanks for any help.

I remembered to look at mine when topping up the tank a few minutes ago. The cap was bought in Holland but was made in St Malo by Amiot Marine. Almost certainly was distributed by Plastimo, so don't know what is happening now. It is a plastic screw cap, fitted to a Sowester filler with a winch handle star key.

Deck fillers are listed in the current Plastimo catalogue index as being on page 291. The only version of the catalogue I can find has no page numbers that I can see and no way of moving quickly to any page. So I will leave the rest to you

Is it like this http://www.force4.co.uk/b/65/Easy.html

Have a look on my boat on F24. PM if you need to borrow my spare one.

The link says the caps do not have a thread. The Sowester one does.

They've changed them then. I'm sure mine are like that and have a course thread - less than a turn. Mine are def not bayonet type.

Thanks for the responses so far. Force 4 have indicated that they may have access to some pattern spares. The lost cap is threaded but not very coarsely - it requires several turns to screw in.
