I know about the portlights vs. the hatches.
The point was that you can tell a mid cabin based hull vs an express ruiser (not mid cabin) style immediately by looking at the portlights.
2 = mid-cabin hull
3 = non-midcabin hull
From the rear the gunnels are higher and there is a cutout at the top.
Anyhow, sorry to hijack the thread.
Gutav is flying by and we're getting rain/wind bands from him at this moment. Not a great labor day weekend by any means.

Hi Wes,
I also had a water leak on my forward hatch.
I peeled the old rubber seal and filled it with silicone and added a ½ inch gasket.
We have had some rain in the last couple of weeks and no leaks. Hopefully, I fixed the water leak. Let us know how you make out.

I have the mid cabin model and the two side hatches are fixed. The center forward one opens.
I had one of the latch handles snap out of the lexan on ours. (Guess I pulled too hard ) It seems to seal fine with three.
I may call and see if I can get replacement hatches for all three. The two side lights have a small amount of weepages. At a minimum I will pull and rebed.

Re: 10 Meter hatch leak
I've spent a few hundred bucks on gaskets and still and fighting leaks. I'm about to cut them out and install new hatches in a couple months.

Re: 10 Meter hatch leak
i replaced both hatch gaskets when i bought my 10 meter eight years ago.both were leaking. i searched
everywhere for a gasket to match,it looked d shaped. what i found and used has worked perfect is the west marine 9/16th round black and i believe it was selfstick gasket. the bitch was cleaning all the old gasket out of the groove. i have the packaging on the boat and will be going there on thursday. can let u know the part number

Re: 10 Meter hatch leak
The factory original hatches on my 10 meter express do not leak.
I replaced the gaskets on one about 5 years ago and the other last year.
Aside from the discoloration, the problem is they have numerous surface cracks and crazing in the hatch lids to the point where I do not "trust" them.
Don't know if they will go another 3 months, or another 35 years.
