Deck Fill O-rings - NT32
This may seem like a trivial question, but I am struggling to find the correct o-rings for the 4 deck fill fittings (diesel, waste, and water (2)) on my 2007 NT32. I bought the Perko 1.5 inch o-rings from West Marine but they were a little bit oversize for the water fill and too thin for the fuel fill.
Has anyone done the research and found the right sizes (and materials) for all 4 deck fill o-rings?

Also looking for the o rings, went to the fill manufacturer, but they don’t sell the o rings separately a few years ago. Hope you find a source.

Take the fitting or the old o-ring to any hydraulic hose company. They will
have the correct o-ring. It is amazing how O-rings they stock. Done this
many times always got what I wanted.

Any auto parts store (NAPA, etc) will have what you need. Some even have a kit of o-ring stock and can make any custom size while you wait. I replaced our two water fill o-rings with 1 1/2” diameter o-rings purchased from NAPA.
Just carefully dig out the old o-rings and take them to a parts store.

I ordered a "bunch" of O rings from a local company for deckfill and other items (aftercooler and Groco strainer).
The company is:
Grizzly Supplies
19269 96th Avenue
Surrey, B.C.
V4N4C4
604.251-3554
1-877-505-0155
If I have the right codes (?) the deckfills are:
Number 2-136 N70 Size: 2.00x .103 Cost: $0.29 each
Number 2-222 N70 Szie: 1.500x .139 Cost: $0.33 each
If memory serves, the deckfills are 2inch for the diesel and 1.5 inch for the waste and water (water may be 2 inch as well). I no longer own the Tug so cannot measure or access the O rings to measure. To obtain these measurements (for the first order), I sent in a sample of each O ring I wanted and the info here is from the invoice.
Being as these O rings are so inexpensive, I changed them out annually. Definitely don't want water in the fuel.
Hope that helps,

Thanks Tom
After a bit of trial and error I found the following work well for me:
- nitrile 70 duro
- water fill use size: AS568-125 or go to Ace hardware and use Danco #25
- fuel and waste are bigger and seemed to want a thicker oring so I used size: AS568-222
I found orings in smaller quantities at The O-Ring Store online. They are cheap and I got a lifetime supply.
A size larger or smaller would probably still work.
