How to fix a leaking Hatch Part 1

This is part 1 of a 2 part series on how to remove, repair and reinstall hatches on your boat. We happen to have Atkins and Hoyle hatches but the same process would hold true for Lewmar or any other brands as well. In this video, we remove the hatch frame and deck spacer. We inspect the deck core and clean all the old sealant from the hatches before re-installing. Check out Part 2 here - https://youtu.be/vqsmZjlHdgc Here is a link to the scraper I referenced in the video as well. http://amzn.to/2CDRKOk Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
