Hello Bob and Laurie,

I am all but 101% sure that the rubber seal strip used at the base of the companionway slide board is the same one today on the Super Maramu, as it was on the Maramu. If you describe it as above when inquiring of Amel, they will know what it is. You can email your request to Colette at amel@amel.fr in the Apres Vende Department. She speaks English at least as well as I do. An alternate source would be a GOOD automotive trim/upholstery shop. I have seen window seal strips (such as on my 1996 Chevy Impala) that look very much like what you seek. Good hunting. Joel F. Potter Cruising Yacht Specialist Amel's Sole Associate for the Americas

The problem we've encountered is the deterioration of the rubber gasket which goes along the bottom of the door sill, so water running down the outside of the door goes aft over the sill into the cockpit, rather than into the door's "pocket" and thence eventually into the bilge. Any idea of where to get the same or similar gasket, short of trying to deal directly with Amel? Our prior efforts with them have been frustrating due to the language barrier, as well as contending with US Customs. Bob and Laurie Wright Yahoo!
