Does anyone know if the 1990 seafarer came with gaskets on all of the covers , like battery, live well, and storage compartments.
Thanks in advance

Thanks . The issue is even when it rains I get water in the storage compartments. That’s what I’m trying to eliminate. Thanks for the reply
Yup, I added it to my fish boxes and it's worked well. I put the foam on the lid side. Most of the problem was from all of the water running down the walkway to the bow.
That’s exactly what I have. It’s running down from the bow and it brings all the dirt with it and the boxes don’t ever stay clean
It's been probably 4 or 5 years since I did this "mod" 
But I don't recall using anything too special. If I recall, I did something like (after cleaning the lid real well) putting wax paper on the box side of the lip, then some clay/putty in a few spots on top of that, then closed the lid. When I opened the lid back up, the clay was sticking to the spots on the lid where I wanted the foam-rubber and then I just made some marks to follow.
I'm not at the boat right now... but I think the foam-rubber I used was a little too thick and the lid stuck up a bit. I think I took some of the foam-rubber back off on the aft side of the lid (and maybe a bit on the sides) and that let the lid close better. Although, it probably would have squashed down over time.

Oh... part of the reason for the clay was to also find the space between the lid and the box so I knew what thickness foam to get. What was tough, and hence the reason for removing some of the foam on the aft end (which isn't really needed, anyways), was knowing how much force it would take to compress the foam for the lid to fully close... weight of the lid and leverage factor of the lid as it closes near the hinge vs further away, etc.
