I noticed the other day that my starboard cabin top hatch was leaking. It
appeared to be coming in around the plexiglass itself. It looks like a PO had
done some repair in the past, because there was a gooey black sealant on the
inside of the lens clearly added on top of the seal on the outboa
Good luck with your boat!
I recently resealed my forehatch (replaced the lens also) using Dow 795
calk and believe it'll be a long-time cure from what I've seen, read and
heard of it.

Just to clarify- I am trying to figure out what the PO used, because it seems

I’ve used 795 and it had a longer (and welcome) working time vs yer’ basic
silicone. It cures easily within 24 hrs to be rubbery but not gooey, lovely
stuff.
I did have some cheap and aging GE eavestrough sealant ‘with silicone’ that
would not cure properly. Thought I’d use it up but it did
I got by with Capt. Tolley’s for many years, but recently my forward hatch had
a leak that wouldn’t fix and a little strip of liquid rubber from West Marine
painted on the outside did the trick 😊

I replaced the lens on my forward hatch probably about 6 years ago. I used
black Sikaflex 295uv and Sikaflex primer. Still no leaks. The primer is
critical because the first time I did it I did not use the primer and it
only lasted about 2 years before it leaked. I believe that I still have the

I got it out of the boat without removing the heat exchanger. The flange
was bolted onto 3 studs that remained in the exhaust manifold when I
removed the nuts. I lost coolant when the flange was separated from the
manifold. That surprised me but it appears the system was built that way. I

trying to remember Joe but I thought you said it was liquid electrical tape
you used on that hatch seal ?
