OK,,,,,, what a pain in the a#$.... nothing bothers me more than a leaking hatch...
My hatch started leaking again ,,, my mistake was ordering the smaller 1/2 seal.... so:
https://www.atkinshoyle.com/products/ha ... hatch.htmlThe forward hatch model is the XR300
1. I ordered the larger 5/8 seal - $55
2. used the Adhesive for Gasket Install, Caulking Cartridge $29.95
The shipping from Canada is a real killer...
If I knew what density of foam rubber to order from Mcmaster Carr I would have ordered it from them.
So far so good...looks like I have a good seal now. But I still intend to replace the entire hatch with either the Lewmar Ocean model 70 $819-

The trouble with the other models,,,, lewmar or bomar is the models with the flange... Anyone that has ordered the flange models who can advise which model works for our hatch openings (drop in ready without hatch opening rework ?)
