I recently lost a hatch cover for my Romany and bought a replacement. The new cover seemed to be made of a stiffer rubber than the old ones. I treated it with 303, as I do with all hatch covers and drysuit gaskets. After only a few weeks, several cracks appeared in the hatch cover, on the underside of the rim. I took it back to the store (Pacific Water Sports, SeaTac). They took it back, found a more rubbery feeling one in stock, and gave me that. So far so good. I've had the new cover for about 2 weeks and no cracks. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 26 2000 - 10:55:34 PDT
