Would someone know where I can find color-coded deck cap replacements?

I'd like to use them instead of the ones I have now.... blue for water,
red
for fuel, black for sewage.

I don't want to replace the entire plate... just the caps.

Thanks!

A really inexpensive solution is to buy a Dymo label maker and an
assortment of tape colors - usually about $10 at your local office
supply. These are also very useful for labeling halyard stoppers and
other deck hardware.

In addition to labeling all of my deck plates, I had small color coded
platic laminated placques made up which mount near the deck plate.



That's worth checking out... thanks! I'd like something on the cap itself,
which means it'd have to stick to stainless.

Do you have access to a drill press? You could make some dimples around the
outer edge of the caps and fill them with enamel.

Interesting idea... I do, assuming I can find the drill press behind all the
boxes in the garage.
