Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Gasket for 8" Viking Hatch

I have a 2007 205 Conquest. There are three 8"deck hatches manufactured by Viking, which is now out of business. I have some seepage of deck water into the bilge and would like to start by replacing the flat gaskets. Cant seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone have a source ?

Are they O-rings? If so they should be easy to find. It might not be the gasket as much as the outside frame is not sealed.

What will really help is if you can give us measurements of the O ring.What is the diameter of the insert?.

You will most likely find a replacement looking at Beckson, Bomar and Pompanette websites/dealers.

Worst case, remove the outer ring and replace the entire unit with a modern unit. Maybe even go with screw on, rather than press in.
