Jose Thanks again for the silicone seals. Would you please confirm that the seals are intended to replace the 'hard' lip seal below the upper foam seal in the orientation as per attached photo's? Many

Hello again Gerhard! That does look factory and compliments the design. I have no doubt I won't be able to restore the original, however it is a wide low design which will mean some modifications.

Hi James; We purchased our replacement directly from Dessalator. We purchased 10 meters of hose (For two replacements) and 4 extra fittings. A fairly straight forward job, but Dessalator is not

Hi Mark, We had guests who had trouble w slipperiness of bumper. I put a 2" non-slip/reflector tape on it. It was helpful, but the non-skid granules abraded the paint off our new bumper. I will try
