Solution for leaky hatch cover and cabin door

Post by Superg »

I had a leaky hatch cover and cabin door when i got my boat. Also a lot of spiders getting in. So I've solved it with the following:
1. Door sweep on cabin door
2. Foam strip on hatch above door
3. Doubled over piece of vinyl srewed and glued down with spray-rubber over the hatch hinge.

These seem to work great keeping out the blowing rain. I'd be curious to know what other people have done.

Also does a good job keeping out spiders, but I still can't keep spiders from coming through little gaps in the window trim (which i've replaced recently), and I am always spider-bombing to keep the critters away.
