I ordered from Amel, I haven’t received it yet, but Maud had several kinds. I described what was originally installed and she said she’d send what appears to be the same. It’s a D with all the walls the same, about 5mm thick all the way. She didn’t know anything about the cylindrical piece that was described as placed into the D seals at the corners, and said they don’t have anything like that.
When I get it, I’ll take some pics and try to describe the material and compressibility. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243

Subject: Re: [AmelYachtOwners] [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow locker seals Danny I am sure A represents what Amel installed, but since apparently all manufacturers have cheapened the foam by lowering the density. This is the reason that I believe I would replace it with B profile. That said, I will wait for a final judgement until after Kent has talked to the manufacturer. Kent, you should ask: Is B better than A in situations where the compression will be greater than 25%. Best,

Let me know what they say Best, Galveston Island, TX 77550 Here’s the site I was looking at. These are truly half-round with base 1”, height 1/2”(not 1”). I’ll contact them and Steve’s site to see if I can find 1” x 1” high D profile in neoprene.

Note that Trim-LOC says it uses EPDM Rubber. EPDM is related to polyethylene...I assume that this will be similar to polyfoam. The specs state that "compression Rating Recommended 25% compression for the maximum performance." This is where I had a failure with the gasket I previously used. If you notice the weight of the engine room hatch, it will compress the D Gasket to more than 25%, especially if the center hole is large. Maybe the one that Kent found with a 3/16" hole will be the best. It will take about 90' to do everything.
