Does anyone have a source?
Ours are leaking and drips fall on one's forehead or in one's ear,when attempting to sleep in the V-berth.

Have you contacted Perko? I can tell you that they no longer sell parts for sixty-year-old stoves, but gaskets for you ports might be another story.

Also, assuming them to be rubber O rings, they all pretty much conform to definate standards and you should be able to get replacements at any place that specializes in seals, gaskets, etc. Just don't tell them it's for a boat. http://media5.hypernet.com/~dick/ubb/wink.gif

When I needed new gaskets for my portlights, which are 49 years old and made in Argentina, I looked thru the McMaster Carr catalog. They have a large selection of various rubbers, o-rings, garkets, weather seal strips, etc. You can almost certainly find something that will do. BTW they have some pretty exotic elastomers such as Viton. Some of these are pricy but are almost impervious to UV, chemicals, acids etc. Should last a long time.

Perko?
Now that's a thought!(I wasn't thinkin',late fer one o'thum MENSA meetin's,doncha'know http://media5.hypernet.com/~dick/ubb/biggrin.gif)
Most of our bronze is made by them,but I didn't realize they were still around.
These gaskets look a bit like the spline material that holds bug screen in a window frame.
Thanks
