Pump out cap

[Hannah Jones McVey]

We accidentally left ours at a pump out point and when we returned it had gone. Struggling to work out how to replace it. The hole is 5.5cm at the top and 5 in the screw area.

 

Any advice gratefully received!

You can get 'deck filler caps' on eBay or from a chandlers. You might have to put up with one incorrectly labelled.

A standard BSP 1 1/2" iron plug fits perfectly, from any plumbers suppliers.

Get one with "Diesel" on it - that'll teach anyone who tries to syphon your fuel!

And you’d fail your next BSS to boot.

But not so good when you ask a boatyard to fill her her up!

No idea, to be honest. You might find a windlass instead

Mines brass (both cap and hole)

but I have recently seen one that had an aluminium cap in a steel hole. the boat had been laid up for a while (being refitted) and even a lump hammer and chisel weren't opening that fitting
