On my GW 205 freedom, the floor drains that lead overboard aren't draining. I think it has something to do with the rubber gaskets. is there an easy way to replace those? (I can get the water to drain if I push on the rubber.)

Need more information. All the Grady floor drains that I've ever seen do not have rubber gaskets. There are rubber, one-way flaps on the fittings where the water drains and exits the hull. Gravity and water pressure should allow these flaps to open and drain water. If they need changing, the rubber flaps are readily available from a variety of sources.
Even old flappers shouldn't stop water from draining. Look inside for a clog... or aim a hose on full blast right into the floor drain.
But, yes, they are readily available for purchase and super easy to replace.

Use the hose and blast them out. Then stick your finger in the flap and push it inside the thru hill so your finger can get under it, pull it out and up. The crap usually collects behind the flap. Once you have it cleared, blast it again. Prob a collection of leaves, twigs and other stuff from fall/winter.
