Bomar Hatch leak

John41

I own a 2004 342. I have water leaking from the main Bomar hatch over the bed. I was thinking it might be the rubber seal. Does anyone know which rubber seal I need for that and where to buy it? Also is there something else I might want to look at to stop the leak?

I think the most common leak source is the handles. There’s a small o ring on them. Check that first.

Sometimes you can get lucky and just tighten the screw for the handle and it will snug it up and stop the leak (worked for me on my 330). It’s hard for the hatch to leak from the rubber seal around the hatch, water runs off the hatch then onto the bow, there’s a lip on the bow to prevent the water to come in.

Worked for me on the 370 and my current boat.

Tried all the simple stuff, I'm going to remove the main frame and re seat with SIKAFREX,
let you know how I get on.

Mine leaks as well..but I did watch my great grandson laying on the bed and sticking a foot thru it...the glass popped out so I pushed it back in..but it needs some love...not sure what to do..assume I can't get another piece of glass and seal? Don't mean to steal your thread..
