Title: Filler cap
Post by: Gibill on May 02, 2016, 06:27:46 PM

I have a filler cap marked (oil fill and vent).  It sits on top of the dash above the steering wheel just behind the windshield of my 99 cobra viper 201D bass boat.  Can anybody tell me what it is for?
Thanks

Yep! What @bullet20dc said! My G3 came with Sea Star hydraulic steering and has the same thing behind the windshield  :nod:
