Bud,

You could try some ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) plastic tape that
woodworkers use to make machinery slippery. Try Woodcraft Supply or Lee
Valley Tools. It comes with adhesive.

Last year my wife and I bought our first boat, a Catalina 250. We
love it, and it is just the right size for us in Colorado.

Over the summer a problem developed between the cabin and the hatch.
The hatch cover slides toward the bow to open. It slides on a thick
vinyl (I guess) tape to protect the cabin's fiberglass. The tape has
deteriorated and separated from the fiberglass, and I need to replace
it.

Can any one suggest where I might go to get the replacement tape? I
have tried West Marine and other Internet boat supplies sites with no
success.
