Title: Lewmar Old Style Standard Gaskets - Where to source?
Post by: Gulfsailor on January 07, 2024, 04:34:58 PM
I ordered the replacement seals for all six Lewmar ports. I'm an optimist, but want to have replacement gaskets if necessary. 

Catalina Direct and Defender show these gaskets are out of stock. Has anyone found another source for these (or possibly the company that manufactured these for Lewmar)?

Thanks in advance.

Gulf : Look at the post below ..."Port Lens Replacements".  I said the Defender gave the best price on Lewmar replacement lenses and gaskets and I was told that Catalina Direct has a better price.  So check it out!!

A few thoughts

I called Florida Rigging and ordered the last four they had. I S/W Tom who said they used to get five calls a month for the "Old Standard " gaskets but it's been a long time since anyone ordered them.

I told him that I planned to do the other steps first (1. Replace the horizontal sealant and 2. Replace the o-rings) before I move to gaskets but wanted to have them on hand. I told him that "Murphy was an optimist". He laughed and said, "I'll send you these gaskets but I warn you that you will use more four letter words than ever when you try to install them."

Good deal!

Tom is a good guy.
Pete is often more funny!
