Alex and Cory address a persistent leak under a Lewmar hatch on their C&C Landfall 43 by removing the hatch frame and resealing the underlying teak trim.Watch The crew discovers that previous attempts to seal the hatch with butyl tape failed, allowing water to migrate through screw holes and rot the surrounding wood.5:47 After removing the trim pieces and cleaning the area, they apply Titebond III wood glue to stabilize punky screw holes and cracks in the teak.20:22 They then bed the hatch frame using a combination of butyl tape for the main seal and Sikaflex 291 for the trim and corners to ensure a watertight barrier.24:34 The process involves sanding the deck with bronze wool, masking the area to manage sealant squeeze-out, and replacing original fasteners with longer screws to improve bite in the compromised wood.9:29 The repair prioritizes immediate water exclusion over a full deck restoration to prepare for an upcoming passage.9:19
