Re: Hatteras/Sams Black Window Trim Rubber
We spent over $10K for all new PH windows last year. The yard said they were using “factory” seals, but they were gray, not black. On the trip home from the yard we had 30 knots on the nose and a tight 4’ Head sea. It was like a fire hose spraying the front of the PH, and it was like Niagara Falls INSIDE the PH. Keep in mind, this was the trip back from the yard. I should have turned around and headed the 50 miles back to the yard but the weather was deteriorating. Within a year the seals were badly dry rotted, and one of the new windshields was cracked (suspect the boat detail crew scampering down to the foredeck from the fly bridge, but not provable).
So, recently we had the cracked window replaced, and all of the other windows rebedded and resealed with the black urethane. For the first time the PH is dry as a bone even in torrential S. FL downpours. After all this, I would never attempt regular rubber seals, but just my 2 cents.Jerry B.

The guys name was Mike . Here is the company name:

I checked the invoice and there wasn't any listing of materials used. He gave us a 3 year guarantee though it seems "on leakage and workmanship".

Re: Hatteras/Sams Black Window Trim Rubber
I see no difference as far as sealing. Done right, there is sealant under the rubber seals anyway. Its just like what you see in the above photos except that there is a rubber seal over top of the caulk.
The difference is that with just the urethane, there is no seal to dry up and look crappy.Sky Cheney
