Forward hatch seal

The forward hatch on my Cat. 30 leaks when it rains but not when I wash the boat with a nozzle. It appears that the gasket is dried out and is not sealing the hatch. I can't see any way to adjust the seating of the hatch. Suggestions? New gasket? Source of new gasket? Adjustment of hatch? Other solutions? Thanks.

Bob, try

see the attached link for Catalina direct, then go to the Cat 30/ hull/ deck/ forward... to find the hatch gasket you are looking for. Good luck

I HAD SAME PROBLEM

EVENTUALLY I AM SURE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE GASKET AND THE ONE AT CATALINA DIRECT IS THE ANSWER. IN THE MEAN TIME I USED SILICONE LUBE (FROM THE POOL SUPPLY STORE) AND TIGHTENED THE SCREW ON THE DOG. NO MORE LEAK DURING 2" RAINFALL LAST FRIDAY NIGHT. IT SURE MADE SLEEPING IN THE V-BERTH MORE ENJOYABLE. I USE THE SAME SILICONE LUBE ON ALL THE OTHER PORTS GASKETS AS WELL. IT REALLY EXTENDS THE USFUL LIFE OF THE GASKETS. GOOD LUCK!
