Orlando, 
Thanks, I know that, just temporary until I get back next week. I will warn everyone who takes a shower that it can blow at any second, should be fun.

A piece of cork is not the answer, it cannot be a plug it has to have a 'relief valve"

Thanks Scott, this is why I love this list.  I will check this out.  Went to West Marine and they had no idea, pretty much as usual, what I was talking about.  I even showed them the cap.  I will try Defender.  In the mean time I bought some cork stoppers that should work as a  temporary fix.   Am going out for the weekend and don't have time to find them before that. 
As for blown, that is exactly what happened, I may have not had the thru hull opened is my only explanation. 


Thanks, 
Herb

Herb:  Are you talking about the rubber piece in the cap of one of the 
Marelon vented loops?  These are made by Forespar and I believe 
replacement cap assemblies are available from West Marine, and probably 
from Defender and other suppliers.  Search the WM site for part number 
594127.  The Forespar part number is 903002 according to the WM web 
site.  As far as I know there is only one size.  My recollection is that 
  the replacement cap includes the rubber valve insert, and that you 
can't purchase these separately. 

I'm curious what you mean by "blown."  I've had these things stick open 
due to salt or mineral crystals, but often a good rinse with fresh water 
gets them working again.  There should not be enough back pressure in 
any of your systems to actually damage one.
