My starboard oil fill deck plate is missing the little plastic insert that keeps you from putting gas in that hole... I find them useful for holding the funnel I use to add oil...

I looked into replacing the deck plate, but there seems to be no way to remove it... The oil fill tube is almost certainly clamped on, and this is completely inaccessible... I suppose I could detach the hose from the tank (easier said than done), but the plate itself showed no inclination of being pried off of the hull...

Has anyone else run into this?
