Deck weatherstrip

[cmariner32]

I'm in the process of replacing my starboard fuel tank and noticed the weatherstripping that seals my rear cockpit deck to the perimeter framing as well as the 4 deck hatches in the cockpit deck are in need of replacing. What is currently there is a smooth rubber (not foam rubber) strip about 3/4 to 1 inch with adhesive on one side only. Checking boatfix showed only foam rubber weatherstrip. I need about 50 ft. or so. Anyone know a good source for weatherstripping?

I'd try Home Depot or Lowe's............you do not need to purchase it from a marine store. Also RV supply stores might have it.

I've checked out HD-all their weatherstripping is foam rubber. I'll try a rv center but I'm thinking that they will only have kits of maybe 10 ft. whereas I need something on the order of about 50 ft.

www.mcmaster.com has lots of different weather strips and seals. They also have adhesive you will need to intall the strips.
