[C320-list] Bomar Trapezoidal Hatch

[Scott Thompson]

We may be talking about two different gaskets. The one I referred to 
that tends to shrink and pull away in the corners is NOT the one between 
the lens and frame. Rather it is the gasket that the hatch sits on when 
closed. I've never had trouble with the former leaking on my 20 year old 
boat. (Knock on wood.) The other one has been a minor problem. I've 
found I can keep it sealed by carefully pushing it outward in the corner 
where I've had leaks when closing the hatch.

My gasket has pulled away at the corners and leaks unless I push it back into place (but doesn't last).Dave Hupr1994 C320 #32Holland, MISent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
