Title: Replacement gasket for 1986 V-berth hatch
Post by: Steve Weiss on May 13, 2013, 11:29:15 AM
Has anyone replaced the rubber gasket for the V-berth hatch on a 1986 model? Mine is in bad shape and Catalina doesn't offer a replacement part anymore.

Steve, thanks I did see it but didn't look through the whole thing because the '86 models had a "custom" fiberglass hatch rather than an off the shelf Bowmar/Lewmar hatch. But looking through it just now I do see that someone mentions that Catalina Direct does sell gasket rubber which they cut to your size. So I'll ask about that when I call today. Thanks again.
