These 38 mm deck fillers are essential deck hardware for managing your boat’s consumables. Fuel Deck Filler: The fuel filler cap is typically mounted on the deck or gunwale near the fuel tank. With “Fuel” marked on the cap, fueling personnel and boat owners can immediately recognize it, preventing any costly mix-ups. The cap screws into the deck flange and compresses an O-ring, ensuring gasoline or diesel fumes and splashes stay contained. The stainless steel construction stands up to exposure from fuel and weather without degrading; unlike plastic caps, it won’t crack or cross-thread easily. The included chain prevents the cap from falling – a great feature when refueling at sea or in low-light conditions. Water Deck Filler: Similarly, the water filler (marked “Water”) provides a fill point for the freshwater tank. Using stainless steel here is particularly beneficial as it’s hygienic and won’t impart taste to drinking water. Both fillers have a flush, low-profile design with a slot or keyhole on top; they usually open with a special key or a flat screwdriver for security (to deter tampering). Installation requires cutting a hole of the appropriate diameter, inserting the filler, and securing it from below with screws (some designs have a threaded body and nut, others use 3-4 screws through the flange). You’ll attach your 38 mm (1-1/2") fuel fill hose or water hose underneath with a hose clamp onto the neck of the filler – the filler’s barbed or ribbed neck ensures the hose stays put. Maintenance is minimal: periodically inspect the O-ring on each cap (replace if cracked or worn to maintain a good seal) and rinse the caps/flanges with fresh water to avoid salt build-up. The mirror-polished finish can be kept shiny with stainless polish if desired, matching other deck fittings like cleats and vents. Using these high-quality 316 stainless fillers provides peace of mind: you have robust, reliable fill points that won’t leak when closed and won’t corrode over time. Whether you’re fueling up for a long voyage or filling the water tank for a weekend trip, these deck fillers make the process smooth and safe, and they look great on your deck doing it.
