Hatch cover rubber seals

[hmbjr]

I recently purchased a 1983 36C that needs two tons of TLC. I am slowly attacking the issues........ little by little. I would like to know if anyone knows where to get the rubber tubing that seals the forward and aft hatch overs? Also need the center plexaglass companion way closure. It is the center piece of three.

Thanksl
Hank

http://www.selectplastics.com/ can likely fabricate the companionway board for you. I haven't seen a specific replacement for the seal, but they may be able to help there also. I don't know if mine are still factory but they still work.

Welcome.

Re the rubber like gasket, an earlier post mentioned cleanseal.com. Looks like they have the right stuff, but say they only sell minimum orders. I've emailed them, but has anyone else found a better source?

Ive had luck finding this gasket material at stores that sell RV supplies.

IF the hatch is a major brand (Beckson, Bowmar, Lewmar, etc) West Marine and defender sell the gasket material by the foot. Easy.
