H28.5 Cockpit Hatch Rubber Stops

[49North]

I'm having a hard time locating a source for those little rubber stops on the underside of the lazarette and cockpit hatch . Nobody i've talked to seems to know where to find them .
I need about 2 dozen of them .
Thanks in advance.

I think I have found them in several sizes at Ace Hardware. but I know that you can get them from the Hunter factory. Call customer service to order.

When I bought my boat in 2003, all of the black rubber bumpers under the cockpit lockers, and the two on the companionway hatch, were totally shot. Thinking these would be hard to replace, I roamed Home Depot and found some washers that I thought would suffice. They were ok, but not quite right. On a hunch, I called Hunter in Florida. Bingo! They had the original OEM bumpes in stock. I ordered 25 of them @ .49 each plus postage and had them in hand a week later.

If interested, call Hunter at: 1-800-771-5556 ext 3015. Tell them you want Item 1000190, Bumper Black, 771-RW (Large Bumpers).
Hopefully, they have some left as they work well!

Home Depot and Lowe's carry them. They are also available on line from dozens of suppliers.

Ace versions are hard plastic, which will hold up longer than the conventional rubber mounts.

Just replaced all of mine very quickly with a call to hunter Marine Parts. Home Depot doesn't have them and I wasn't wasting my sailing time looking elsewhere.
