[C320-list] Bomar Hatch Gasket

[hcreech at comcast.net]

Chuck, 
Don't recall running into that issue. I will be at the boat tomorrow and will measure the left over gasket and let you know. Our boats are close in hull number so our hatches should be similar, but no guarantee .

Herb - Thanks for the advice. Do you recall whether the Bomar hatch is a 
high profile or low profile? The Pompanette site shows two different gasket 
types. Thanks
