Leaking hatch glass re-bedded - 2024

Yes, we had a water leak and about a third of the glass was slightly lifting out of the Bomar - Pompanettellc Hatch frame. That's how we found the leaks. We were cleaning the inside of the stateroom hatch and noticed the glass lifting.

It is not really glass it is polycarbonate. Of course, the hardest part of the job was the prep work. When finished with that, we purchased some 3M 4000UV from Agencia Arjona chandlery here in La Paz. We did find some of our old wood clamps (three) from when we re-built the hatches way back about 15 years ago. For the fourth one we used a screw to hold the one inch strapping tight. We could have used another set of strapping clamps but it did ok with the two. Job well done!
