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 😊

Good luck with your boat!

 

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.

I noticed the other day that my starboard cabin top hatch was leaking.  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.  Dave
