Taking advantage of quiet time to reseal kayak.

My center hatch weeped water.  Not bad. But enough to make the inside of my hull smell like a rockfish’s butt.  Pulled my extra foam and it was moist.   It was coming from the gasket!   Hobie uses this foam to seal.  It’s like the same foam farmers use to protect delicate fruit.  Not robust stuff. I left out the cord to hold down reverse/forward pull handles.  It appeared to be wicking water in there.   Fresh silicone and it’s a tight seal.   I did reuse the foam gaskets as well.
