Here's the stuff. Seems the galley and head hatches are A&H. I also need a spring, but need to go to the boat to measure the spring and the seal. If you're somewhere you can get the measurements for the galley hatch seal and the spring, and get the part# for the hatch this weekend, please send the measurements/# on. Also, since I can't find the reference email (now there's and argument for a forum rather than a list), here's the site for the seal - http://www.mcmaster.com/#foam-cords/=whac6k, and here's the A&H site.Parts Department | Atkins & Hoyle | Boat & Marine Dinghy Davits, Hardtops and Arches

Message-ID: <002c01d067ca$cda56e10$68f04a30$@earthlink.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I resealed my A&H hatches with a ?? diameter neoprene foam ?rod? called breaker bead by a friend in the glass business. It is used to seal around commercial windows and is pretty inexpensive. I think you can find it at Lowes and Home Depot, but mine came from a glass shop. I scraped the old foam seals out of the channels where they are mounted and wire brushed the aluminum frames, then applied 3M automotive trim adhesive and spread it in the channel and pressed the rubber into place. Cut the rod square with a razor blade, start at middle of the lower side of the hatch, make sure you don?t stretch the rod as you press it in place, cut the finished end to length with a razor blade when you get there and can be sure to get a tight match with the point where you started.

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 <http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|6880|2290165&id=1230878> &id=1230878 -Patrick 1984 LF38 S/V Violet Hour Seattle, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
