Put Calypso in the same group of butyl tape after the over drill and epoxy fill process. For our foredeck hatch which is 33” x 33” we are upgrading to through bolts as the deck sees more twist and flex around that larger deck opening.
We have reconditioned all three hatches, two are original 1970 A/H, one (the foredeck) is a A/H added in the early 80’s replacing the wood frame original. We used Hammerhead for the lens and seal recondition and had a local aerospace coating company re-anodize the frames. We replaced an opening port in the cockpit. The white plastic framed port frame failed and allowed water into the balsa. We used a same sized Lewmar which looks much like the other hatches.

Had to over drill and fill the old holes yes, also found cracks where the liner and deck met, which were a source of leaks, so fixed them with G2 Flex (if I remember correctly) which has a bit of give in it. The new Lewmar’s actually matched the openings better than the Bomar’s I removed!

Which sealant should I use? Sikaflex, Lifecaulk, something else? I need to overdrill, epoxy and redrill the new screw holes, correct? Joel 35/3 Annapolis -- Joel 301 541 8551
