    My Gas was stolen at boat launch. Look at tank for a hole and found a plug removed from next to top of tank.
    Anyone know the part number or how to get that plug. Can’t see it on prints

    Lucky. In my area they drill a nice hole in the bottom of your tank. And snag your catalytic too.

    Threaded plug? They knew exactly what to do to not make a mess! Bet this becomes a thing in short time.

    OP- you might be able to find an alternative plug in a hardware store that matches the thread. Sorry that happened!

    What is this, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?

    Awful, sorry this happened to you.

    Based on my experience at boat ramps, they’d steal the metallic from your paint if it was possible…

    Geeze.

    I guess a steel gas skid plate wouldn't stop these people from doing stupid crap like this.

    Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the fix.
