Hi Everyone,
I have a 1985 Ericson 28. The chain broke on the gas cap (diesel) and needless to say the cap sinks very fast. I thought it would be as easy as going down to the marine hardware store and buying a new cap. Five hardware stores later it looks like I'm in for some work.
Any good sources for used parts? If I have to replace the entire deck fill I'm told I'll have to cut a hole in the hull to get to the hose clamps. Obviously I don't want to go to extreme measures to replace a simple cap. Any info would be helpful.
