Per requests, I'm moving this thread over to Ericsonyachts.org so that the admittedly very crude scan of the gasket section can be included -- this is from my 1988 38-200 with Lewmar ports. The email thread from Sailnet is included below.

Either/or. How much do you need? I was able to complete three of the four windows with the existing gasket, but the fourth of course fell apart. I have 25 feet coming and only need about 5 to finish up. Otherwise feel free to call Wefco -- I talked to a guy named PJ there. They charge $100 for retooling, and then its $50 for 25 feet.
I'm attaching a rather crude scan of the end section of the gasket which is being fabricated -- it has a scale next to it so you can see the size. Let me know if you have any questions.

I also have a 1988 38-200 and need to replace my gaskets. Can you give me information about your order and maybe I can piggy back on your order. Or if you did not place your order yet we can split the costs.

Are you talking about the fixedlights or the opening? My problem was with the fixedlights, the gasket between the glass and the aluminum extrusion. I had the same experience with Select Plastics -- I've ordered some from Wefco Rubber but it is a special order, so after sending them a section of the old gasket, I had to pay a retooling fee and buy a minumum of 25 ft, of which I only need 5. I thought about trying to make do with some other gasket but decided it was such a PITA to remove, disassemble and rebed the fixedlights that I wanted to only do it once. My boat is a 1988 38-200.

Now that I'm ready to address the leaks in the port lights,
I find that the gasket material is unavailable.
I talked to Select Plastics and they said they have none and can no longer get it.
Any ideas or suggestions?
