The round black rubber stops or bumpers (whatever they are called?) that screw under the seat hatches on my 1985 Hunter 28.5 need replacing. Anyone know of a source for new ones or something that will work? Jeff

Cockpit storage

When I neededto replace these on my 23.5, I contacted Hunter by phone and they shipped them to me within 2-3 days. I spoke to Mike in parts. Sorry I don't have the phone number with me.

another option

Home Depot, Lowes or Menards carries an assortment of sizes. The replacements ones I found were white rubber rather than black, but they worked good and cost about a quarter each. Ward

I used weather strip.

Hated those bumpers. The lockers might as well be outside and open. The product I used was from WM. It came in a roll long enough to do all of my cockpit hatches. It's self adhesive too. Sorry, I'd get the link for you but I have a dial-up and WM is too slow on the web. The part number is 1955046. Taco makes it.

weather strip?

the weatherstrip from West looks interesting but it is only 3/8" tall. If I remember correctly the bumbers are a bit taller. does the weather strip work ok being shorter? I like the idea of a better seal from the elements. Jeff

Mine works fine.

At the rear-center of the helmsman seat the gull-wing seats are higher than the frame. But that is 'my boat'. I'll do some realigning with a sliver of 'starboard'. As far as sitting and sealing, great.

Grommets

I have just gone through the same thing with my newly acquired 1987 Hunter 31. I called Hunter at 1-800-771-5556 X3015 to order them. There are two different sizes. Mine were the larger size and cost $0.49 each. Use a credit card and you will get them in 3-4 days. They are great to work with.
