Hi Gang,

Having finished "gook n' puttying" the bow pulpit, I'm redy to tackly the
front hatch.

The front hatch on oour P19 doesn't fit very well. I want to install a gasket
around the top edge of the hull opening to prevent water splashing up in there
when we take a wave over the bow. I have looked at all the gasket material at
the hardware stores and at the automotive stores and have one that might work.

Has anyone done this successfully and what type of gasket did you use?

Thanks in advance.
