I got by with Capt. Tolley’s for many years, but recently my forward hatch had a leak that wouldn’t fix and a little strip of liquid rubber from West Marine painted on the outside did the trick 😊

I recently resealed my forehatch (replaced the lens also) using Dow 795 calk and believe it'll be a long-time cure from what I've seen, read and heard of it.

It appeared to be coming in around the plexiglass itself. It looks like a PO had done some repair in the past, because there was a gooey black sealant on the inside of the lens clearly added on top of the seal on the outboard part of the lens, but not the inboard part (where it is now leaking). I will eventually pull the lens and reseal or replace, and will try Capt. Tolley’s, but wondering if anyone knows what sealant might have been used which would still be gooey after many years and bonds to plexiglass? Nothing I have used stays gooey after many years. This all presumes the boat is still there tomorrow. Wind forecast is 50-60 at the mooring later today. Fingers crossed.
