My new to me Mac 25 has a nice pop top complete with lift springs and all that good stuff. It also has some sort of foam sealant - think pipe foam - attached (glued?) to the edge of the top itself. Besides being ugly (UGLY), like most things foam, it is getting brittle and falling apart.
Somewhere, in my travels of websites offering all things boats for sail, I had seen some sort of rubber seal that if I recall correctly went into the groove that the top sits in. I want to say it was some sort of omega seal looking thing. I thought I had seen it on the Blue Water Yachts store, but couldn't find it when I was looking for it today.
So, I guess my question is two fold - does anyone have a seal on their boat like that (or, do you really need it)? And any idea where to get one if it makes sense? I suppose worse come to worst I could always get some sort of rubber door sealer, and glue it in.
Thanks for any help/suggestions. This place is AWESOME for ideas and knowledge!
