Refurbishing The Old Bomar Forward Hatch. Episode 10.

In today’s boat-work episode, I dive into a long-overdue project, giving the old Bomar forward hatch a full refurbishment. Years of sun, salt, leaks, and general neglect finally caught up with it—so it was time to strip it down, clean it up, repair what I could, and bring this tired hatch back to life. From removing the frame and tackling corrosion, to replacing seals, and hardware, sanding, painting, and re-bedding the hatch. If you’re working on your own sailboat restoration, refit, or maintenance list, this video should help you understand what’s involved in refreshing an aging hatch and keeping water where it belongs—outside the cabin! Whether you’re restoring a classic cruiser, prepping for a season of coastal adventures, or just love following sailing projects, I hope you find this episode useful and satisfying. There’s nothing quite like bringing old gear back from the brink and making your boat safer, drier, and better looking. 🏷️ Featured Work in This Video:     •    Removing and inspecting the old Bomar hatch     •    Addressing corrosion and old sealant     •    Replacing gaskets and hardware     •    Cleaning and restoring aluminum frame components     •    Prepping, sanding, and repainting     •    Re-bedding with fresh marine sealant     •    Final reinstall 🔔 Like Sailing, DIY Boat Projects & Refit Adventures?
