Hairyguy, you'll know it's the right material if it's very soft neoprene, and looks like you could dent or tear it easily. This is the only version that will compress enough to make a proper seal.

It's less common but I found a version of it at lowes.

I hope you did get the same stuff. Sounds like something is mis-priced.

Horns2--sorry I missed your post. I long ago sold that boat (2015?) and have no idea how that seal is holding up. Sorry. Note that the posts above are back in 2013.

I use Arma flex pipe insulation as sealing for the front hatch and I make a new one after 2 summers.
Arma flex is cheap and it just take me 30 minutes to renew the hatch sealing.
I have a little bit other solution than Chekika but you asked about the material.

best regards
