Waterproof sealing strip for lockers - any sources?

[stuartwineberg]

The cockpit seat lids on my Hardy mobo are unlike the self draining types on a sailing yacht. They are made from the sort of doors usually used for watertight doors from the forecabin to the anchor locker or for flush fitting deck hatches - the sort with a non slip surface molded in and a recessed twist lock handle in the surface. They are now leaking and I think the thin rubberised seal that sits in the groove where the lid seats when it closes is to blame. It's white and about 3 or 4 mm wide and self adhesive. Anyone know where to get it . Standard hardware shops just seem to stock foam draughtstrip which won't do.

Apols for the convoluted explanation instead of a photo but for some reason (??snow??) I haven't gone down to the boat to take a piccy

Thanks as always

Our local chandler sells self adhesive hatch seal in different sizes. Maybe yours does???

I've used them before and bought anti slip tape for locker tops the service was good and you get more for your money than at a chandlers. The tape worked well too and is virtually invisible.
