I have a 2006 330 Express. There is a weather stripping material along interface where the deck meets the sides. I attached a photo. It is separating and discolored. I am looking to replace it, but I can't seem to find the right material. Wondering if anyone has replaced this or if anyone has any suggestions on the right material to use. Thanks!

If this link to eBay works, I believe it is what you're looking for. If not, just google Taco Flex Trim in the dimensions, (height, thickness) of what you have, and I believe you'll come up with it easily enough. Ebay seller Taylor Marine is a Grady dealer and I have bought from them before on eBay. They are not cheap.

Of course, official Grady OEM part and color doubles the price!

If you are replacing all the of trim on your boat, you could get essentially the same thing in a package called baseboard trim, ivory color, and reduce your parts cost by about 70%! I ASSUME it would have the same adhesive properties.

Well, I didn't see any link in my response, so I guess my attempt failed. Sorry about that. Hope you can still find them on eBay.

The link didn’t work, but based on your search terms I was able to find a few options. Waiting on responses from a few vendors. I’ll update the post once I make a final decision and order it. Thanks again.
 
I have a big spool of it in my garage, minimum order quantity was quite a bit, Barbour was who I used. I did the cockpit last season, i plan to do the mid-berth this spring. Make sure you get it warm and clean the area thoroughly, it tends to pull off in the corners.

Unrelated, i did the same color decking you did, looks great.

I just talked to Barbour, great to hear that’s who you used. The minimum order is 54’ now instead of 108’ so I’m probably going to order it from them. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, I used Castatway Customs for the sea deck. Still waiting on the pie plate pieces bc they were cut too big and had to be recut, but I’m very happy with it.
