Does anybody know where you can get spares like the seals

Wynn Marine used to hold spares, but I think they dumped them all.

I built my replacement seal using two sections from www.sealsdirect.co.uk and some wetsuit repair glue. And then some careful cutting with a scalpel.

Worked out OK, but yet to be used in anger.

cheers,
Scott

just found the original order to Seals Direct:

A262 2 part waterproof contact adhesive
US55 Rubber Square U Channel Section
US162 Rubber Square U Channel Section

and here it is completed and fitted to the Kent unit ...

... spot the dodgy scarf joint at the bottom near the drain fitting...

cheers,
S

Does anybody know if another manufacturer makes, of has made, anything comparable with Kent screens? Or have all work boats switched to crappy conventional wipers?

Vetus lists a rotary screen or two:

I have a clearview screen on my H28. The bracket and motor wobble around causing the glass to rub. I have seen some versions with a stay fitted to the motor but I can't see any evidence on mine. Am I missing something?

Due to flexibility of the screen I think a stay is very useful, I had a stainless steel stay on the Kent fitted to my Huntsman 31.
