Hello Norris,

I have the same problem on my CHB 45 Tri-Cabin

On several of the windows, the black rubber screw cover was missing
when I bought the boat.  This upset me, because I knew it would be useless
to try to find the stuff.

The cover is mostly cosmetic, as it does not seal well anyway.

I solved the problem of the black screw cover by making a cove radius
on the end of a tongue depressor and using it to shape the same polysulfide
compound
used to seal teak decks and bed hardware.  The new "cover" looks great and
seals
a thousand times better than the old rubber cover strip!  Plus -it is UV
resistant, where
the old rubber cracked and peeled.

<screws.I have been able to locate almost all of the materials needed
except the cresent shaped black rubber trim that covers the mounting
screws. I have saved the old trim pieces but they seem to have shrunk
in length somewhat although the rubber seems to be in generally good
shape. I would appreciate any help in locating a source of this
material. Thank You, Norris Leap <

We got no response to our question on flooring, but thanks Mel for the
private response on the Benmar.

Once again: We would like to cover our parquet floor in the salon with a
wood product or a faux wood product. Does anyone have any experience with
Pergo or similar products? Do they resist scratches satisfactorily? Are they
easy to install? Please share any experiences you have had or suggestions
you can offer.
