I have a '84 Hunter 20 with port lights made by Gray Enterprises (now Bomar/Gray). I need to replace the foam gaskets. I have sent Bomar an email, but have not heard back. Does anyone know of a source for these gaskets. The ports are 5 3/4" x 12 7/8" and the gasket slot is about 1/4" wide. Any help would be appreciated.

O-ring work?

Will an O-ring work if you get the circumference and then mold it in the gasket slot(we use yelloy 3M weather adhesive to hold gaskets ect. in place in the auto biz)? Maby some type of camper top or blower housing seal on a role but I prefer the rubber. Hope this helps. Kenny

Try ThriftyMariner.com in Florida. You can even get get the whole portlight at discount price if other parts are going bad. I replace all 8 ports and a hatch for $400.

I went to the source

Below is the note I got back from the folks at Pompanette, parent company to Gray. I will be ordering the gaskets directly. Jennifer in their customer service was quite helpful in setting me up with the correct part for my ports. Chip, Thank you for your reply. The gasket is part number GP904-09 and is sold for $3.00 per foot you can order on-line at www.pompanette.com Thank you and regards, Jennifer
