Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I have purchased a piece of polypropylene (plexiglass) to replace the cracked "Bomar" hatch. Piece of material was $29 with shipping as opposed to almost $500 for a replacement Bomar hatch. Does anyone know what type of sealant is used when these are set into the frame?
 
Do you have a Tap Plastics store near you? They are a wealth of information on everything plastic. There website used to be a great resource, but now it barely has any info. Too bad.......
 
No local store, but if I can't find what I need locally I will order from them online. Thanks for the info.
 
call bomar's customer service #, they are very good and should be able to either supply you the sealant or tell you what they reccomend.
 
Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread but I have a quick question.. When I am going out on the bow is it o.k. to sit on my bomar hatch?.. I've avoided doing so but it seems strong enough to support my 190 lbs. Just wondering how the OP cracked his?
 
I don't think it is a problem. Step on it while standing and if it does not flex at all, it should be alright for sitting.
 
... and if you fall through, don't sit on it.;)

Personally, I believe that you -should- be able to stand/sit on it, but I avoid doing so whenever possible. Personal quirk.
