      If I drive 183 miles from Portland to Seattle, I could buy these o-rings for $0.40 each at Fisheries Supply on North Lake Way. The prices I see online can be $10-$30 when you include shipping –for an O-Ring!

      I’ve looked at standard o-ring charts and can’t find anything close.
      The dimensions are listed as ID = 0.245″, cross section = 0.155″

      Has anyone found a substitute?

        Sierra Marine sells a substitute, but I have found them to be a bit on the incorrect size.

        Yeah, you aren’t paying for the part, but mostly the shipping and handling. Somebody has to be paid for doing the paperwork, stocking and, pulling the parts, packing, postage, ect.  Just a sign of the times.

        BTW 301877 was 10 cents in the 1964 Parts Price Book..
