[C320-list] Bomar Hatch Gasket

[Paul Rickman]

I also have a leak in the corners of the hatch lid to frame seal. 
Before leaving the boat I hold the lid open with my head, push
in the corners and let the lid down then lock it. No leak.

Chuck

Are you repairing the hatch lid to frame seal or the hatch frame to deck
bedding?
