[Public-List] Fuel filler corrosion?

[americo silva]

Do you want to deal with the same corrosion in the near future if not spend
a few bucks and get a good replacement never ceases to amaze me that boat
people try to skimp on everything I would rather spend a little xtra cash
than have to constantly be cleaning corrosion and repairing I have had my
share of buying cheap then replacing with expensive  then thinking the
money I spent on cheap could of gone to buying expensive
