Ouch! I placed my order through Hardin Marine http://www.hardin-marine.com/ with Scott for $80.

It happens

I see the old Gill style sea strainers are claimed to be "tested to over 100 PSI" and the Harding marine are not rated :grinser010:

The one I got has Gil imprinted just like the original, I thought $80 was too much but $189?!?! WTF? :party-smiley-004:

I removed the lid from one of my teagues last fall. It was very crusty around the lid. Edges were breaking off. Called Teague and a new one with seal was like 20 or 30 bucks. They are good people to deal with. I replaced the other one. Looks like the Lexan is not very inert and will break down with time. Maybe something that needs to be put on the maintainence list.

Sounds like some money to be made here. I wiuld think someone can lathe an aluminum cover with a tempered glass insert and sell for 189 all day long. now who can turn and burn?

I have the measurements on CAD of the old Gill lids. I have made a few in Polycarbonate for a few people in the past. I'm sure i can make others if someone wanted to send me their old one to use for measurements :)

Wally, I have one I can send you but it is the one I have uses a bolt straight down the center with a clamp around the edge.

shoot me a pic of it

Here is what it looks like, I can sent you an actual pic of the lid itself this weekend when I go to the lake.
