You know....the metal screw cap with hexagonal key-hole which seals the waste tank and where you pump out?

Mine is at the bottom of the marina now

Once I know what it's called: I will also need some suggestions for online suppliers.......

Slendid....thank you chaps: quite right....I should have said its chrome.

I like the magnet idea.....may end up resorting to that!

If chrome it could be Chromed Brass or Chromed Alloy

Get yerself a sea searcher magnet anyway - good fun if nothing else

I can't guarantee it will fit ... but as you only need the cap, this might get you out of trouble cheaply until you can figure out how to retrieve your chrome one

Essential piece of boaters kit. As long as searching for the right metal. Recently with curiosity getting the better of me I approached a fellow boater who had been desperately bouncing his magnet round his boat for several hours. 'What have you lost'? I say. 'My Breitling' his reply. 'Ahh'! I had to tell him otherwise he would still be there!

The bankside at Shepperton is about ten foot deep!!

This may work out cheaper if it's the right size.
