I know this question came up in 2006 ( http://cnc-list.com/pipermail/cnc-list_cnc-list.com/2006-May/002846.html ), but that's 9 years ago and the story may have changed since then.
I'm getting to work on a few leaks in our boat, and the galley + head hatches (LF38) come first. The previous thread recommended Clean Seal, or direct from Atkins & Hoyle (for the more expensive option). I had trouble finding the part # on Clean Seal though. Are those two still the best options? Here's are some pics of the galley hatch: http://svviolethour.com/?attachment_id=181 http://svviolethour.com/?attachment_id=179 http://svviolethour.com/?attachment_id=180 The current gasket material actually doesn't look that bad, it just doesn't seat well - so unless I'm very careful to cram it in the right spots we get leaks. I almost wonder whether it's just the wrong size/shape for the hatch? Would something like the Bomar Hatch gasket material (5/8" in an extruded format or 9/16" in round) on Defender possibly work? http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|6880|2290165&id=1230878 -Patrick 1984 LF38 S/V Violet Hour Seattle, WA
