Good Luck with finding the crack or small hole? Not only will you get it all over everything but dirt and sand will stick to it and cause the seal NOT to seal. Joined: Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:39 am.

But logical thinking, if you have a sealed hull and hatches sealed then no water should get inside this is how I think and I will be working on making things seal off better because I believe I can.

I was thinking of taking it out to maybe silicone the base and some petroleum jelly on the o-ring to shed water. Is water coming over onto the hatch.
