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.


My question is *WHY*?

No one puts or sucks anything into/from our boat but under my direct
supervision. I know exactly what caps hide what, and the plates are
marked indelibly for any who can read English.

Stainless caps last pretty much forever. Plastic, in a word, doesn't.
(I had to cut out an old one far younger than our fuel and water
plates.)


An idle moment during a maintenance mode day...

No one does on my boat either.
