[C320-list] Water leak around sliding companionway hatch

[Michael Rauh]

I replaced the sliding hatch Teflon tape that is on top of both rails.  Mine had worn away.

You can buy  roll from Catalina Direct.

It’s good to have a dry bilge but after the heavy rain in Seattle the past few days I discovered water leaking from the starboard side of the sliding hatch above the companionway. I’m not quite sure how water is getting in yet – I could see by pushing the hatch upwards that there was water between the plastic and the side rails that it sits on.
