Thanks for the info, I'm making some improvements to my M17 & think this will be a good one. Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: <chbenneck@juno.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 9:16 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Boarding Ladder
Hi Wayne,
The hatch model I selected and installed has a rubber gasket under the lid, and has a twist to lock fastener on the top surface.
I haven't noticed any leakage. When I'm cleaning the cockpit I'll slosh buckets of water over everything to flush away the dirt and grime.
I have also put gaskets - closed cell foam strips about 3/4 inch wide with an adhesive backing - under my sail locker lids, so that when they are closed and the hasps are in place, the whole cockpit is water tight.
