Subject: Hatch Gasket
Info: (4118 views) Posted: Tuesday 7-19-22 11:07:57 AM
After searching various options and advices from fellow sailors, I eventually sent order to Hatch masters to replace the glass and install new gasket. They also refer me a company which makes a cover to protect from UV. It has been 2 seasons, working well and no leaks. Thanks to all for many informations. Yoshi

:: 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.

:: :: I looked around message related withhatch gasket but did
:: :: 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.
