Many boats suffer from a bad O ring , so any water passing by the fill cap becomes a problem.
Our solution is cheap and sure.
Purchase (or find in the scrap pile) a piece of GRP at least 1/2 inch thick.
Cut it to match the fill hole in the deck and the OD or larger of the deck fitting
When the sealant under the fuel fill is renewed simply install the spacer .
Now any water running by will need to be deeper than the spaced up deck fill.
Could catch your toes tho.
This also works for stanchion bases , davit mounts and windlass mounting.
