leakie hatch
 

My port side hatch keeps on leaking. I had it repaired a couple of years ago I thought. Any suggestions on how to seal it and what to use, so it is sealed for good? My starbirt side has never leaked.

Thanks

Are you referring to the bow hatches? If so, I've had 2 24 outlaws now and the frames were never sealed very well to the deck. I'm not sure how you fixed them in the past, but I would make sure the frames are sealed to the deck. You probably have wet balsa all around the openings for the hatches. You will have to scrap all that out and fill will a resin mixture if the balsa is wet. The frames may have some sort of rubber gasket or a sealer. I would take off the gasket if it has it and use something like life caulk to re-seal it.

Yes the one on the left side keeps leaking. The right one doesn't leak. I will have to pull it apart. Thanks for the insight
