Yesterday I brazenly walked into the reception area of the GG Schmitt & Sons headquarters in Sarasota Florida, which as it turned out, is 10 miles from where I keep my boat.

I told the nice lady about my problem and she replied that their retail department was closed. I replied that I knew that but asked what was I supposed to do when they are the only one's in the world that have the gaskets?

She called a couple of young execs to the reception area and I explained the recent deal with Tiara and that I really didn't need a kit costing $144.00. All I needed was a gasket. The said "Huuummm" and then asked what size I needed since they had made two sizes of port lights?

I said that I would go to the boat and measure and send them the info. But, the problem is that I had no way to measure the actual length of the gasket itself. I think that they need this to be able to cut a piece that will fit. All I could provide was the H x W of the outside of the frame (8.5 x 19.25) and the outside H x W of the gasket inside the frame (7.5 x 17).

They also wanted to know how many I wanted? I said to please give the my the price each and I would decide the number.

I emailed this info to them yesterday and they said that they would have someone in engineering get back to me.
