[C320-list] Forward Hatch Gasket

[Jeff Church]

Bert,

I re-bedded my hatch 3 years ago. I don't recall that there was any gasket material under the hatch frame. I think Catalina used silicone or some other type of caulk/sealer. I thoroughly cleaned the deck under the frame, masked off the area around the frame, and bedded the hatch in LifeCalk. So far, so good.

  My original Bomar forward hatch has developed a consistent leak around the  
  base...as if the gasket has shrunk and will not stay where it should be to keep 
   the rain out.  I cannot get to the boat for a while to check, does anybody  
  know the model number or exact measurements of that hatch so I can order a  
  gasket?  I've been on the Bomar web site...there are too many hatches to  
  attempt to guess as to which is ours.
   
  Thanks,
  Bert
