After heavy rains, can get up to 5 gallons of rain water in bilge. Not enough to kick in bilge pump, so a sponge used. Its a hassle.

See photos enclosed of hatch for forward anchor locker. Of course with a bow pulpit, windlass and installed anchor, don't need this anchor locker hole to let out line.

Parker changed the design, this is a 2018.

Anyone dealt with this? I put in a more substantial gasket around the edge, and jury-rigged some thin epoxied plates in place, plus some chalk. Ugly fix though, and not working well.

Thoughts on a fix?

thanks
