Hi everyone. I've had my 1997 255 WA for 15 years. My dad and I bought it together back in '05 and since he lives on the water it always stayed at his place. Well guess who just moved to the water and is getting his turn....
At any rate there are are quite a few minor things that have been neglected and in need of some TLC. I'm hoping folks here can point me to the right places for help.
1) The weather stripping around the cabin door is about gone. It's a bead of round stripping like what would hold a screen porch screen in place. But it looks like it has a part that goes in to a channel to hold it together. Question - Am I right about the channel? Where can I get a replacement? Or is there an alternative weather stripping? The picture attachment shows what I'm talking about.
2) The cabin hatch is there but it looks like where the hinges attach to the hatch with some type of adhesive. That adhesive is gone and the hatch is only holding on by the front levers. Question - what can I use to get the hatch back on the hinges?
3) Trim tabs - they just don't work at all. Is there a recommended replacement for these? I'm thinking of the self leveling ones but wanted to get some advice.
That's about it for now. Thanks in advance for any advice.
