    I own a 1975 Bertram FBMY that had a leak thru the cabin roof hatch. I removed the hatch and wonder if this hatch originally sealed with a gasket?

    Saloon roof hatch

    We have a '78. Caulking under the cap was what we found when we popped the top. Cheap WestMarine White is what we used after we dropped in the new jenny. Then,,, dropped in a new fridge a year later. The Polyether Came apart nicely and re-bedded o k after the fridge went in. Don't use 5200 or something more permeate. We'll be popping the hatch again soon for a second gen-set and another sofa this fall.
