sounds abnormal to me Nicholas Gill School of Geography and Oceanography University of NSW Australian Defence Force Academy Canberra ACT 2600 Ph. 02 6268 8317 Mob. 041 7659440 Fax 02 6268 8313 Email: nicholas.gill_at_adfa.edu.au ---------- > From: MJAkayaker_at_aol.com > To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net > Subject: [Paddlewise] Cracked VCP Hatch Cover > Date: Thursday, 9 December 1999 11:20 > > I just discovered that my round 8" VCP hatch cover has a major cracking > problem. The crack is only about 1'" long on the outside but runs about 3/4 > of the way around the inside. It is right where the side joins the top. You > can not really see it on the inside unless you flex the cover as if you were > pulling it off the hatch. The boat is about 2 1/2 years old. I have applied > 303 protectant to the outside of the cover every 2-3 weeks but have not done > anything on the inside. I store my boat with the hatch covers on the hatch. > The large oval VCP cover on the rear hatch does not seem to have any problem. > > > Is this normal wear? Was I doing (or not doing) something that could have > contributed to this cracking? Your experiences and suggestions would be > appreciated. > > Mark J.
