Subject: LEAKING HATCH
Info: (20446 views) Posted: Thursday 8-9-07 11:27:17 AM

Hi:

Lewmar does sell hatch replacements (of the same size) for three hundred sum odd . . .

However, I simply rebedded the existing Lexan onto the original rubber seal in the old aluminum frame.

I used ther clear silicon-based bathroom tub seal . . . and it works great. It's not actually silicon, dries clear, and is a little harder/tougher than regular silicon seal.

mb.

:: I HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGONAL LEWMAR
:: SUPERHATCH. IT IS LEAKING BETWEN THE UPPER FRAME AND THE
:: ACRYLIC. LEWMAR SAYS THEY HAVE NO REPLACEMENTS AND
