[C320-list] Leaky Bomar Hatch

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hi Guys,

   I have a "less mature" boat that has the same problem.  #809.  What I've
been doing was to push the gasket back into the corners as I shut it.  But
this hatch is also leaking elsewhere and I need to do something to rebed it.

Joe, could you elaborate on where the leak was what you did to fix the hinge
leak.

Herb, could you explain what was involved in replacing the gasket?

Thanks a ton guys!

Hi Charlie, don't forget to check the seal of the hinge where it connects to
the lens. That's where mine was leaking.

The Bomar hatch over my V berth has developed a leak.  My boat is 11 years
old and I think the gasket is tired.  It looks like the gasket has shrunk
away from the upper two corners and is allowing water to enter. Has anyone
replaced this gasket and if so is it a big job?  The model number of the
hatch is 1094-10 AX.  Thanks for any info.
