Title: Chains for water and diesel fillers, and cockpit table recommendations
Post by: Iain C on May 21 2018, 22:03
Can anyone tell me where to get replacement chains for the transom mounted fillers?  Mine are missing...I've not had a good look at how the chains were attached but if anyone can point me towards a replacement that would be good.

Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable folding cockpit table for a 2004 B32?

Thanks in advance!

The retaining chain is just a bath plug chain: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00J7RKX22/ref=asc_df_B00J7RKX2252655350/?tag=googshopuk-21&creative=22146&creativeASIN=B00J7RKX22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=223168629794&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17145143545823564964&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045657&hvtargid=pla-420192375246

Thanks all.  I'll have a look at the chains next time I am on board and see which bits I need.  Thanks for the link to the tables...I've gone for a KJ Howells "decking" version, as my B32 has the full teak deck option and it should look really good.

Bring on cockpit barbeques on the trusty Cobb!!!

The chain comes with the replacement filler cap. I know this because I had to buy one after the old chain snapped right off and the old filler cap went for new adventures on the bottom of the sea. So in hindsight I'd rather use some string. Probably more durable, and definitely easier to inspect for wear than the silly drain plug chain. It's attached deep inside the filler fitting, so you need to take the hose off to access it.
