Title: Cockpit Hatch
Post by: Mike Silverton on July 04, 2024, 10:52:36 PM

I am installing a new cockpit hatch.  I've read two different bits of advice in the forums.  Seal it with silicone and seal it with Sikaflex.  What is the recommended product?

Thanks, Mike

Not silicone.  Stick (pun intended) with an adhesive sealant like a Sika or 3M 4000, 4200 or Loctite PL Marine.
