Leaking hatches in a 272LE

[Jeff]

My Beckson hatches are all leaking. One is missing the rubber insulation. Do I have to replace the entire hatch or is there a way to reseal?

Seals

Jeff -Are we talking about the gasket that goes between the boat and the frame, or the one that seals the frame shut? In either case, you should be able to get what you need from Beckson. Go to www.beckson.com to figure out what you need, then call West Marine or another major marine supplier to order.Justin - O'day Owners' Web

Jeff, try reversing the gasket which seals

the window. I did that a couple of years ago on my 272 and it works. New gaskets are a good idea though. Thanks to Justin for the Beckson web address. I wonder if the plexiglass window unit inside the portlight can be replaced? Mine are almost impossible to see out of.Tom
