[C320-list] Lewmar Hatches

[JJ Morrison]

They do not need to be replaced. Many of us 320 owners have delt with this and it involves replacing the gasket between the two halves of the outside frame. This is well described in maintenance techniques on the user site. I did this 4 years ago and nary a drop of leakage.CheersJohnM1999#574
