I believe there is a grounding screw/lug on the other side. I remember hooking up the wire so there must have been something but I cant recall. I can take a look tonight and let you know for sure. I also believe if I recall that 2 of three holes lined up and I had to drill a new hole for the third screw. or maybe I just used one hole and drilled 2 new ones. I do remember that the flange just barely covered the old holes but it did.

I had to replace the whole thing as well...don't know where Wellcraft came up with the original ones, must have been a special run.

I talked to someone at West marine and they said that the grounding wire that is attached to my old gas fill is not required. that's why so many deck gas fills don't have it. What's your take on this info?

It probably has something to do with plastic tanks vs metal tanks, but in all cases I personally like to err on the side of safety. So for me the grounding wire stays.

now that I think about it I may have hooked up the grounding wire to the back of one of the mounting bolts/screws.
