[C320-list] Deck diesel fill cap

[Doug Treff]

I will caution you that through the years, Catalina used different fittings for the deck fills and the Sea-dog caps do not fit what was installed on my 1996 hull #350.

So beware of your hull number and make sure you are buying something that can be returned for a refund if it doesn't fit.

I did not mind because I also wanted the colored caps to make sure I did not make a mistake and put water into the diesel tank. I used part # Z2971 (diesel) and part #Z2970 (water) from CD. It was a pretty quick swap, and about a quarter of the price of the stainless caps/pipes.

I searched Catalina direct and Catalina parts with no success. Catalina Direct sells the stainless caps with the pipes but don’t see the need to replace all but may have to.
