Hatch Seal (Replacement)

The rubber hatch seal for the Seahorse Kontiki.

Please choose either the STD, GPS, S30, or the new S33 or S60 Kontikis.

Most hatch seals leak because they are dirty and have sand either one or under the seal.

We can either send you a hatch seal for you to fit or bring your Kontiki to us, and we can replace your hatch seal for the same price.

We recommend using an Adhesive such as Sikaflex 291i. This Marine Adhesive is available from Marine stores (such as Burnsco) or can be ordered here with the hatch seal. These are small tubes which help to minimise waste.

To fit the STD or GPS hatch seal, place a bead of SikaFlex around the lower edge of the hatch opening. Roll the hatch seal so the higher ridge is on the inside, start at the front of the hatch and work the seal into position on the body. Once happy with the seals’ position, place the hatch onto the Kontiki and tighten the hatch down onto the seal with light pressure. If the bottom of the seal has moved out, press it back in with something like a screwdriver. Leave to allow the Sikaflex to set

With the S30 hatch Seal, place the bead of Sikaflex on the tail where the seal will go. Please put the seal into place and leave to allow the SikaFlex to set.

The Sikaflex will take a minimum of 24 hours to set and up to three days in cold, wet winter conditions. The Sikaflex is passed. It’s used by date, but okay to use. We have discounted this product.
