Subject: Re: Hatch rubber
Not sure if I know exactly what you're referring to. I have a 7.60. Several years ago I pulled off the two stainless steel rails that hold the companionway hatch down and put down 1 and 1/16" x 1/8" general
purpose weather seal. I picked up the weather seal at an auto parts store. It comes in rolls with adhesive on one side. So far it's worked out pretty well. There's a slight bit of flex due to it's thickness but that doesn't seem to impede the function.
The "stuff" that was there previously was a thin strip of wood. I assumed that was put there by a previous owner. Not sure what might have been there originally. The wood, although it appeared to be treated, had begun to rot and water was leaking through
the bolt holes.
Best of luck.
