Re: Gas caps
Don't remember which ones were used on the 80's M's, did it have the special key to open it? O===O like this? If you google Perko or Atwood gas caps, they have plenty to choose from, available from many different sources, heck even Walmart sells 'em

Re: Gas caps
As I recall, they use a special thread as well.
You might have to replace the entire assembly.

Re: Gas caps
Thanks for th quick respose. Yes the Thread is special and probably changing the deck fill is the best way. I found one cap at a Marina store that does apeear tight but all of the threads are not engaged.

Re: Gas caps
Mine has a "o" ring in gas cap that prevents water from entering tank, that needs to be changed every once in a while.

Re: Gas caps
I put on a new o ring that appears to keep it water tight, however as Jeff pointed out for some reason it is a special thread. I was hoping to find someone who might know of Marinettes being parted out. I am going to change
