[C320-list] Bomar hatch gasket

Sat Sep 25 14:25:52 PDT 2010

Thanks to all for the help below.  I believe that my issue is the hatch lid 
to frame seal, as I can also fix it with my head, per Paul's method. 
However, I think that the gasket material from Bomar might be a more elegant 
solution.

Chuck

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

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.
