New Hatch...No Leaks!

I installed a new V-Berth hatch to replace the original leaky one. I used enough butyl tape to stop a flood, so I'm sure my V-Berth leaks are now a thing of the past. I was able to use the existing teak frame after cutting it flush with the existing hatch framework which made the install quick and easy. (That's saying a lot since almost nothing is quick or easy on a boat).

I know my pics are a little messy but it was so hot and humid, I decided to let an approaching thunderstorm do the clean up for me as I went home.
