Ah! Never would have found that. I don't do Facebook. Looks like I need to get my wife involved!
Do you know the manufacturer?

If it is Scandvik, it must be an obsolete design. None of the caps on their site have the same hinge configuration as mine.

I will do that. However I was hoping to avoid turning a 5 minute job into 3 hours by replacing the assembly.
I also have to wrap my head around the fact that I'm spending $150 to cover a shower head where a $0.10 piece of plastic previously sat.
Where you gettin' those numbers from , Willis?
Probably only 5 minutes longer than replacing just the cap. If you're just buying the cup/cap assembly, it shouldn't be anywhere near $150.

Where? Mr. Drummond's closet:Where you gettin' those numbers from , Willis?

As for the time, I'm assuming it is bonded in place, requiring heating, cutting, chipping, 4 letter vocab excercises, cleaning, resealing, etc.
Good, glad you got the reference!
Ebay shmeebay... $160 for a little piece of plastic! C'mon, think it through - that's absurd. Go to a real store. Did you check Scandvik's website - I bet a replacement cup/lid is under $20. All that matters is that it fits into the same size hole - the part you see could be bigger. IF it requires a bigger hole, that's pretty easy to do, as well. This, of course, is if they don't have any discontinued parts.
3 screws is all it takes to remove the cup. Unscrew the hose. Reverse. You're thinking WAY too much about this.
*This is all still assuming that it's made by Scandvik - which is the most likely source - but I'm not 100% positive on that. They'll be able to tell you, though. But even if the original is not, this isn't rocket science to make it work.

Thanks Dennis. I am whining a bit. My luck with fixing seemingly little issues with this boat have not gone well. Oddly, big stuff that most wouldn't touch with a 10' pole have gone surprisingly well. An easy win would be welcome!
That is definitely a Scandvik spray head. I just replaced one one with the plastic 'hinge' strap. I replaced the cup. hose, sprayer and lid with the Scandvik OEM parts for about $60. The caps with the plastic strap tend to only last a few years but near me they are available in Marine stores for about $15. You can also get a cup with the mechanical hinge in plastic or stainless ( pricey). You need to measure the hole. to make sure the new parts will fit.
I know what you mean. Sometimes it feels like it's just one thing after the other, too. But, hey, there are worse problems to have in this world, right!
