MPFit Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Has anyone replaced their gas cap? Mine doesn't stay down anymore keeps springing up. It's the perko style with the two holes to turn it. Any idea on the diameter. I may just remove it and take it to west marine if I have to.

HarleyG8r Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 If it's like the one on my Pathfinder, it's a Southco; from what I understand they're no longer made. Found a place online that claims to have them, though: http://www.uglyfishinc.com/M7-27-8807201-1-Southco-Pop-Out-Deck-Fill-Gas-Cap-p/m7-27-8x0720x-x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 That is good info. Almost want to order one as a backup! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROZEN Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Guys, I tried to order one from the link above. Stated they were out of stock on the 1 1/2" for my PF. Found the cap on EBAY as part of a diesel filler neck and cap. I ordered this morning thinking I'd throw the fill neck away and use the cap. Same p/n on the cap. I hope it fits. Only $35, and getting harder and harder to find. Search EBay for the Southco part number.

triplec Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 May want to call Ugly Fish. He usually answers the phone. Small shop and usually has way more than listed online. I have been in his retail store/warehouse and he has a lot of stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPFit Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I shoulda called; they were out when I went to order online also. I skipped for a simple flush cap from west marine that had same threading. Sits lower than the threading section making a little puddle on gas cap but it seals fine.

FROZEN Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 All, i wanted to close the loop on the EBay Southco replacement gas cap. It arrived today and it fit like a glove! I unscrewed the "idiot strap" screw on the cap bottom, and there is no way to use the new one supplied with the new fill neck and cap. So no "idiot strap and spring" My new fill neck is marked Diesel, but the cap fit my PF. So, I have a new Southco diesel fill neck if anyone wants it for free. Let me know! Not many left, so might want to pick up a spare. The pop up spring will fail eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just a comment on these caps. Mine was acting up. I sprayed with lubricant I use on my fishing tackle and the spring came back to life and has been fine ever since. I lube it every yr now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
