33 Express 2004 Bomar hatches

[RockLobsterBOS]

Hello
I had my hatches re-bedded on my new to me 2004 33' Express. During the rain the last few days I still found a few drops or water in the cabin. These are Bomar hatches and need what appears to be new upper seals. Does anyone know what model these hatches are on the 2004 33 Express? No serial number on the frames that I could find. I will send them out to be resealed. I was thinking Hatchmasters in Norwalk, Ct. Unless anyone else has a recommendation

Thanks

Are you sure the water is coming in through the rubber seal and not still from underneath? Where the latches snugged down to compress the rubber gasket?

If you're having them done for you - they'll know. They look like a standard size.

Thanks .
Hatchmasters is 12 weeks out right now. Anyone know someone that can fix locally in the Pembroke MA area ?

Those are peel-n-stick seals. Contact Boar/Pompanette (or look on their website). If you contact them, you can send them your pic to be sure - but it looks like a standard 20"x20"?

Hello. they are not peel and stick. I just looked at them today. They are a u gasket the fits between frame and glass them are glues onto the frame from what I can tell.
the glass is 20 x 20 the frame is 23 x23
Any one else that may have thoughts to the model here?

What model Bowmar is it? I also have a 330 Express and have to do mine. Defender.com has Bowman low profile hatch gasket material on their website. Did you do yours yourself or have someone do it for you?

I have no clue and Bomar has not responded to my email or a few calls. They are the low profile I think 120 series or P series equivalent. To have anyone do them it is 12 to 16 weeks wait

Oh, OK. Gotcha.

Being a standard hatch, try just googling or looking at retail stores - maybe a local retailer or boat store? It wouldn't need to be a Grady store

Edit: Although I would imagine your dealer could tell you the model? Does Bomar have it listed on their site?

For the 2004 Grady White Express there are two low profile hatch models that were used. For my hull the BOMAR part number GW provided is N1086-10PX.Bomar replied saying there are two different gaskets for the two different hatch models. The models are based on the last alpha chars of the product part number PX or P. Hatches with PX have a 1/4" lens thickness and require the P2000-25 gasket. Hatches with the 3/8" lens thickness use P2000-09.( P2000-25 used with 1/4" lens) OR (P2000-09 used with 3/8" lens).
Bomar suggests you measure the lens thickness if there are no serial number present on the hatch as it is in my case. You can measure by micrometer or by removing one of the dog handles and using a tape measure. Please make note ordering from Bomar requires a lead time is 3 to 4 weeks. 8% surcharge at the time of shipment. $100 merchandise order minimum. NO RETURNS based on price per foot custom cut. They actually suggested that I call West Marine a dealer of theirs to avoid the extra charges. Most vendors are one to two weeks out and carry the gasket in 5 and 10 foot lengths. Pricing varies anywhere from 8 to 12 dollars per foot. Bomar suggests 7' minimum for these hatches as the lens size is approx. 20" x 20".

I have a 2005 express, went through the same deal with the leaking, i re sealed the frame with 4200 and gaskets and that did the trick, i was getting water under the frame NOT the gasket. and i got the gaskets from Bomar

thanks for the update. I had the hatches resealed first. But third party Bomar wants to much and the 8% surcharge. Well, not sure why
