Default 242LS Tie Down Gaskets

Hi Folks - Under the swim platform of my 88 242LS there are two tie down eyes on both sides of the transom below the waterline. They have gaskets on them. Looks like there are two per side. Does anyone know where I can get replacements gaskets?

Call formula TAG support. Are you sure there not O rings?

I called Formula and they sold me 4 new ones. Does anyone have a side profile picture of the tie down eyes on their 1988 242 or 271? Again these are below the waterline. I need to figure out how they are installed. Plate + gasket + plate etc...

Were they leaking or did you just replace them because they were old? I have the same gasket as described on my PC. I never thought of tinkering with them.

They were cracked and dry. I have a new replacement set if you want to buy them...
