Chris,

Let me know where you find it. I did confirm today that 17' would be enough
to replace everything. Also, while 3/4" W is what I have currently, it does
tend to spill over the space available. 5/8" W would work fine. For H, you
need every bit of 1/2" to avoid an air gap. 9/16" or 5/8" H would probably
be even better. The seal on my boat is adhesive tape backed, not glued.

Style 10 from McMaster-Carr is what I have now...

I'm thinking of trying a Style 7 instead but not sure how the mitered
corners would turn out.
