Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Companionway ( washboard ) rubber seal replacement? [2 Attachments]

So it appears that the picture attachments worked. Couple of other notes. The ¼” gap between the chrome trim and the wood threshold of the companionway could easily be filled with a black caulk struck off vertically for an aesthetic and waterproof finish to the installation. Also as I noted, 2 48” pieces are provided, so I have a couple of 24” “spares” if anyone wants one. Mike Aletes SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

[Attachment(s) from mdondra@... [amelyachtowners] included below] We found a pretty good replacement for the weather seal on the sliding companionway hatch on the SM2000. Belt Weatherstrip/Window Scraper Seal from Rockauto.com part no. 1371-4X2. 2 48" pcs cost $29. Only need 23.5" or 60cm so enough material to do 4 times. Assuming the 2 pictures come through, this Weatherstrip actually finishes about 1/4" above the wood, but is still lower than the hatch itself when fully lowered, so is protected from foot traffic. The upper portion on both ends was trimmed back about 1/8" to improve water drainage.
