"Donny" wrote in message ... Still working on the '58 Chris-Craft. Still "almost done" ... except for the trailer. Anyway, there is a hatch door. It hinges across the top. When we took it apart to sand it down and revarnish it, there was some cloth-like marerial under the hinge. I believe it was there to help keep rain or spray water from entering the cabin through the hinge. (The hinge is about 18" long.) The material that came out of it was a heavy cloth. But that disintegrated. Anyone know what could be used there instead. Rubber might work, but I'm thinking that with all the times that hatch will get opened/closed - rubber might wear out quickly. Thanks, Gary Hi Gary, We just did a total restore of our Trojan. The companionway hatch was in two pieces with a stainless hinge between. Under both sides were a rubber strip, which I cleaned and reinstalled. Lasted 31 years. My 2¢ Donny www.picturetrail.com/sixbennetts Nice job on the Trojan Donny. |
