HELP! We are the new owners of a 1988 26M. We have two problems at the moment. Windows that leak in heavy rain and our main cabin hatch also leaks. I have noticed some snaps in and around the deck around the pop up hatch and two on either side of the cabin entrance way. Does anyone know if there is an accessory cabin hatch cover that snaps on when this hatch is closed? Or how to stop this area from leaking??

Dodger
Those snaps mean there must have been a dodger at some point on your boat. It's a plastic enclosure. My 1986 Mac25 had that too. All Mac main hatches leak a little when the rain gets sideways. As for the windows, you'll probably have to use some sealant. By the way, a 1988 Mac is a 26D or "C". The "M's" just came out in 2003.

Thanks to Norm
Thanks Norm, Now we know what the name of that cover is.
We have recently removed all the windows and cleaned them up and resealed them. It appears the the water has made its way in thru the little screw holes. I suppose adding a dab of sealant at these points might do the trick.

I have an 89D with all the original equipment and books. Those snaps are for the pop top enclosure when it is raised. It's almost like a tent over your pop top.
