Description
Double Peaked Gasket Material for P & E Mfg. Anchor Hatches is sold by the foot so you can trim to size and keep your boat's Anchor Hatch watertight.
Easy Installation.

- Cut to size once your gasket arrives.
- Glue ends together using a drop Loctite 495 on each end.
- Gasket will fit shug in the frame and needs no other adhesive.
Given the sometimes severe conditions of a boat's life hatch gaskets do need to be replaced. Most boaters can do this job themselves.
You will want to be sure all the old gasket is removed, along with the old adhesive. You can use a hair drier or small handheld propane torch to warm it up a bit as this allows the old adhesive to soften.
Don't over do it if you use a torch, make sure the flame is not overly concentrated.
You’ll notice the moisture moving away from the edge. The hatch cover should be at least 80 degrees F for the new gasket adhesive to adhere (little bit more than room temperature). A plastic scraper can be used to remove the bulk of the old gasket. A screwdriver or metal scraper would not be recommended to remove the adhesive, as it may gouge the hatch and the anodized coating. The new gasket should also be warm, at least to room temperature, for the adhesive to work well. Lastly we normally use an adhesive to glue the two joining pieces to assure a good seal.
