    I just received an email from Bill O'Hara VP of sales, Dexter Marine division in which he stated that they have re-designed the caps to a thicker material (still plastic).

    I think a set of polished aluminum caps would be super nice! Consider me very interested.

    The ones that came on my '21 Z19 are dexter P/N 81143. They say Dexter Vortex on the face and also what would appear to be a part number 21-281.
    Its my understanding that the ones with the big letter "V" on them have a different thread pitch.

    Any idea where to get new FDL ones? Just got my 21' Z21 and the two front ones broke.

    This was a recap from my dealer. We searched everywhere, best estimate was August. Went to Nitro and said find me some covers or send new hubs, no hubs? Send a new trailer. Nitro found three covers, not sure where. process took 8 days.

    Don't use the FDL Brands! They will eventually break off like a sheet paper. All 4 broke on me.

    I used caps by Turbo Lube until the correct size by Vortex were shipped.

    I bought some caps from ebay or amazon, cant remember for certain. Came from a place called ZJ outfitters in Fl. (ZJoutfitters.com) came in a two pack, appear to be actual dexter parts, and came at a super reasonable price. P/N 81143

    I will probably order some more to keep on hand until someone comes out with some nice aluminum ones.

    The boat is a '21 Z19, I would assume the trailer is also a '21 model.

    $150 for plastic caps that should be under warranty?

    MJS34I I believe purchased that $150 aftermarket aluminum set from All Out Marine.....perhaps you didn't read that.

    If you ordered your boat at TM at the BPS in Mesa, reach out to Jerry and he will order a correct set for you. No cost.

    I have one wheel with a streak of grease running down it. Is this a sign of a cracked cap. Mine are ones with a big V in the center. From what I'm reading here those may be a different thread?

    That is my understanding. They seem to be plentiful on ebay last time I looked.

    I understand a service bulletin may be coming out so contact your dealer.
