color-coded deck caps?
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! -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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. |

Why replace them with plastic? Don't they have the contents name cast into them? If not, why not get those chromed, curved, plates with the words cast in and fix them to the deck next to the fillers. You could use 5200 if you think your deck might be cored-or maybe even Silaprene :-) |

Mine are stainless... so, I think I'd have to get something that would stick to that... not sure anything would without some serious prep work. You're probably right. I used "fusion" on my aluminum rudder plates. It sticks well and is surprisingly abrasion resistant. Shiny stainless may be a different story though. It did a great job on my coated lifelines, btw. http://blizzard.zmm.com/g20/mayflies.jpg |

You people are all nuts. You label the opening, not the cap. Caps can migrate. One more thing to go wrong. Casady |

I guess I'm just wishing for something more obvious. |

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. |

You people are all nuts. You label the opening, not the cap. Caps can migrate. One more thing to go wrong. You have a point. So, I'd like to color-code both. Seems like this would be a stick-on or paint solution. |

Would anyone have either the water or the 'waste' caps off while the fuel cap was off.? Would anyone have either the fuel or the waste caps off while taking on water? Would anyone have any other cap off while the waste connection is in use? |

My neighbor, the fuel polisher, had to remove water from the same fuel tank twice in three weeks. Same owner mistakenly put water in twice. Gordon No, I don't think his name was WILBURRR! |
