Hello out there, I am looking for windshield gasket material for the above boat. It has a 1/4 x 3/8 inch channel with a 7/8 inch flange coming off the top of one side. The profile looks a bit like a ladle. If anyone has a source, I would really appreciate it. I was told California Classic Boats use to have it, but I am unable to connect with the new owners.
Thanks,
Brad
Hi Brad, Howe Marine in Mich got all of the California Classics inventory. Also Dave at Classic boat Connection may have it, and can you restore what you have?
Thanks Matt, I will call Howe Marine today. I did speak with Dave and he did not have the profile I need. I have never restored rubber gasket material, I have always been able to source replacements. My gaskets are still serviceable, but they are not as flexible as they should be, and I expect they will begin to get brittle and crack over time and with exposure. Are you aware of a product I could apply to them that might help?
can you post an image of what you are looking for. I have cleaned them with tire brite if they are white, black?
Thanks Matt. I am traveling and will send a pic on Friday. It seems Howe Marine is a seasonal business and will not reopen until Spring.
