------I seem to have misplaced the retainer ring that holds the center cap on the steering wheel of the El Pescador.Its the old Covico style white/stainless wheel,with the chrome center cap.I have no way for the center cap to attach to the center of the wheel.If anyone knows where I can find one or has an extra please E-mail me as I need it to finish up the boat for the Hometown Get-together.Thanks in advance.........ol red(Bill S)

Hi do you have enough of a shoulder lip to put a couple os really small dabs of silicone? I have done this as a last resort, the caps ahve always stayed on and were pretty easy to get back off.

-----Thanks MOP.I have contingency plans similar to yours,and will use them if necessary,but am still hoping to find one of these elusive little numbers.
-----By the way,the retainer goes under the three steering wheel machine screws........ol red!(Bill S)
