lewmar hatch leak - mounting a new gasket
In the summer 2017 I sealed the hatch with some butyl sealant and sikaflex 295 UV but the humidity levels are now to unevenly so I change the rubber gasket to a new one.
This is the first time I do a hatch gasket change so I don't know how tight it must be.
After completion of the filming and editing I plan to make it more tight so the gasket will hold it self on the acrylic glass plate.
I have measured the old gasket and it is 188 cm. long.
The glue I used is Loctite ALL PLASTICS : www.loctiteproducts.com/p/sg_p...
Rubber gasket : www.svb.de/de/lewmar-dichtung...
Rubber for one hatch : 38 US Dollars
Loctite all plastics glue : 11 US Dollars

Very informative as usual Tino. I haven't yet had to change a Lewmar hatch joint on my boat yet, but now feel confident I'll be able to do it. Many thanks

Thanks. Next Friday I show someting I did not notice when I first mounted the gasket, but also hard to know when there is no information on the subject anywhere.
Thanks Tino.
Very clear video. Thank you!
Very interesting...good work!!! Thank you so much.
Awesome instruction. great job Thank you.
The gasket needs to be very tight. Use silicone grease when putting the frame back together.

Hi Tino! Im doing same fix for my B37 2002. Im ordering gasket from SVB, they are selling low profile and medium profile gaskets, wich one is the correct one?

The right one is low profile with 5 barbs. Remember when you slide on the frame it must sit pretty tight around the gasket, if not the hatch will leak. If so you can put on some butyl tape on the edge under the gasket to get a perfect seal. Just don't apply to much as I did in this video :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaCexqmRYpbAZps.html
Hej Tino, tak for videoen som er guld værd - jeg står og skal lave det samme i min båd, og har 3 skylights (samme Lewmar) der skal have nye pakninger. Hvor købte du de 5 meter pakning?

Jeg købte pakningen ved svb.de. Det som fik lugen tæt var dog først da jeg lagde butyltape mellem glasset og pakningen. Mener jeg viser det i video "lewmar hatch leak 3/3"

@@twiper Tak Tino - jeg var stadig ved den første video ;) Tænker jeg vil forsøge med silikone fedt, om ikke det kan få den tæt.
Would using a heat gun help mold the rubber so it's not lifted on the courners?

Yes maybe it is the right way to do it.

Thanks. Yes I like to make videos about fixing problems many people have on their boats. There is some videos out there but they are not very clear and they often rush over important details.
Hej du God video 👍 Har lige et spørgsmål arbejder du ved jernbanen? Jeg spørger fordi jeg så din tommelstok.
