SO32i leaking hatches / perished grommets

[bryand]

After a couple of years sunfight exposure ( yes even in Dublin) i've found remnants of black rubber grommets on deck which seem to come from the push /pull ventilators in my Lewmar hatches. These seem to secure and seal the 4 mounting screws that hold the vents in place. Has anyone else experienced this and managed to find replacements.

Thanks in advance

Hello, we found the same problem. Lewmar sells a vent-sealingkit. It includes all the rings and gaskets in the vent. My local harbour store got them for me. The kit is in the Lewmar partslist.
