Bumpers under lid for ladder on swim platform?

[ATLTiger97]

I have a 280da 2004 and am looking for the two rubber bumpers that stop the lid over the ladder from slamming down. Has anyone replaced these?

Hard to tell from the pictures, but are you sure it is not a magnet?
My boat (240 Sundeck) uses a magnet to keep the lid from bouncing.

Here’s another style that is a rubber bumper with a “catch” to secure it closed.

I had the same problem on my 280. I tried a few different things off from Amazon but I was not able to find anything that would last even one year. Over time the lid will rub a line into the base of the swim platform.

In some years (later years, I believe), yes they were magnets. Earlier versions were a rubber cup and peg. Yes, Amazon will be hit or miss - quality is always suspect. Just go to your dealer - they're not expensive, at all. And that way you know you are getting a quality product that will last.

I have managed to find various bumpers at the local RV dealers. And at Lowes. I don't think I have ever found anything as such at any marine dealers I have been to.

Make sure to use polyurethane or EPDM.
