[Rhodes22-list] Diamond Board Trunk Cap Gasket

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Graham,

I know that the best parts come from General Boats so you might want to
order the gasket from Stan.

I have replaced my gasket with great success using MSC Direct P/N:83039842
(Neoprene Rubber Thickness: 3/16 Width: 6 Length: 60 Durometer: 40
Color:Black), currently, $23.30
(https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/83039842?rItem=83039842).

Get out a box cutter and a 1/4" punch and use the existing gasket as a
template to cut the "slot".  I prefer to use the actual fiberglass trunk as
a template to punch the holes, being sure to slightly stretch the material
to make sure that the gasket will lay flat when compressed (it expands when
compressed).

Graham,

About 1/2 inch.  Stan has blanks.
