Subject: Hatch Gasket
Info: (9264 views) Posted: Monday 10-21-19 04:19:13 PM
Yoshi, I purchased the rubber seal, glue, special silicone etc from Hatchmasters.com. New plexiglass from some (name escapes me, well known) place in CA. They cut it to exact size and I just had to round the corners with a belt sander, then hand sanding to exact size. Other members here can help you source the acrylic, you definitely DON'T want Lexan. You also need marine grade butyl tape that has a spacer, or you can use plain butyl tape and add some string trimmer line. The spacer stops the butyl from totally squeezing out and maintains a constant thickness.

That said, my hatch is leaking again after about 5 years... it was not a good design. Any plastic handles etc are not available. I recently made a simple handle replacement using a 3D printer, I have no faith that it will last long. My next step is a new hatch but would rather get new winches first. Bill #44

:: not see any recent information. I need a gasket and
:: possibly plexiglass. What options may I hear from those
:: who repaired or replaced? One option I heard is to go to
:: “Super Hatch” in Connecticut.

:: Any information is appreciated. This is for Hull #104.

:: Thanks.
