Hi All,
I'm hoping for some advice on where to track down a specifically sized replacement cap for a freshwater deck fill. In a ill conceived attempt at filling my freshwater tank late at night and after a few beers, I managed to lose my cap into the harbor below. I tried buying a replacement from West Marine, which looked like it would fit, but the threads turned out to be just a hair too big and it wouldn't screw on.
I'm not sure if I have a hard-to-find size, but I haven't been able to find a replacement anywhere online. Based on my rough measurements, it looks like the threads are 1 3/4" inches across, (the replacement from Westmarine was 1 7/8"). I've taken some pictures of a second deck fill that I have for another freshwater tank, which I'm hoping is the same size as the first. Any input would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
