Ok thanks. Hopefully can paddle this week to check out the temporary neoprene solution, then work on making it more permanent if it looks promising And yes also looking for a couple replacement straps as the snaps on 2 of them are partially broken

Sorry me again. I am not liking how the hatch with now slighly smaller gasket fits the boat. Decided to try plan B and duct tape some scrap neoprene to rim of hatch. Fits boat much better, and passed aggressive garden hose test! So now asking what would be best adhesive for neoprene to hatch...

Found the 3M product at T&T Auto Parts, right in my neighborhood, and way cheaper than on Amazon! Thanks for all your help John.

Ok thanks will add it to my collection How about Aquaseal?

Thanks for the info. It seems like the gasket is a bit too big - not sure if has stretched or ?. Thinking of taking a cm or so out at join and resealing, then glueing back on to solid hatch. If I try this, what would be best adhesive to use. In my collection I have Marine Weld, Lexel, Stone...

Just got a 2016 CD Equinox GTS with leaky hatches. Leaking from top, not thru cockpit The front hatch does not seem to fit well. Decided to take off the rubber weatherstripping as it looked a bit loose anyway. Without that, the hatch fits much better and actually seems dry with the garden hose...

Thanks again, you are awesome!

Thanks so all the info and recommendations!

Great thanks!

I have noticed a couple small frey areas on the rudder cables of my senior Necky Swallow and ordered 1/16 316 marine grade stainless Cable to replace them Now I notice the existing cables are thicker than this. Will the 1/16 cables be sufficient? Thanks Kathy

Thanks so much! Have ordered one I think will work if I can manage to drill some holes in and install. This forum is great and much appreciated!

thanks for all the great info!

Have discovered the sleave on rudder of my senior Necky Swallow is damaged. Looks like no replacements available. Anyone have success using 3 D printing to make one? Any other ideas? Thanks!
