[C320-list] Removing Bomar hatch, replace Gasket?

[tharrison at innovations-plus.com]

Bomar, customer service Rep was a great help. They responded to my question
and I was able to secure the gasket. Now I am wondering about the replacing
the gasket. I would like to remove the hatch, take home and fit the new
gasket in a warmer environment.

 

How do you remove the hatch. Is it just a matter of removing the arms and
then remove four screws? 

 

Then just remove the old gasket, clean (well), do a dry test fit,  apply a
small bead of Sikaflex. 

 

Apply a small amount of Sikaflex to join the gasket ends together?

 

Let cure for how many hours before re-install?

 

When you put the hatch back on do you apply Sikaflex to the screws?

 

 

For others: Below is what the Bomar Customer Service Rep told me: "If your
hatch was made before 1999, the gasket is P2000-25.  If after 1999, it is
P2000-09.  That is providing it has 1/4" acrylic lens.   If it has 3/8"
acrylic, it will be P2000-25 regardless of the year made.  Each hatch takes
7 feet of gasket.  You could try purchasing through Holland Marine in
Mississauga."
