I did check my fuel level and it was the same as when I left it last. I was afraid that rain might have gotten into the fill deck, too. I'm guessing someone lost their cap at the dock and went scrounging in the storage yard, since I found my boat cover tiedown straps undone near the windshield on both sides. A hell of a thing to do to someone, considering my outing was scratched for that day.

Did you bother to check your fuel level? I'm guessing someone was really after your gas and not the cap. Fix the tether.

Luckily, the Nautiqueparts gas cap fit my boat and I didn't have to replace the fill deck. If this post is ever referenced in the future, the replacement (85-96) gas cap, part number S504, fits a 1991 Excel.

I got to the marina to launch my boat yesterday and realized that someone stole my gas cap off my 1991 Excel. Just when I thought my faith in humanity couldn't get any lower. I tried a 2" cap from West Marine and of course it didn't work.
I am going out of town on Wednesday so I ordered (from nautiqueparts.com) both a replacement cap and a complete fill deck in case the replacement cap doesn't fit. Has anyone changed out a gas fill deck? Is the fuel tube connected to the fill deck with standard worm-drive hose clamps? I have a limited amount of time to replace it so I thought I would ask so I can take the right tools. Thanks in advance for your help. |
