Malibu Stealth 12 taking on water

[tomahawk]

I have a stealth 14 that leaks pretty bad. I propped the back end in air, removed the gator hatch, and ran the hose on low over every hatch and gasket. The results were interesting. The side hatch that gives access inside the hull leaked bad through the gasket between the lid and the frame. The side hatch into the "dry storage" leak really bad at the gasket between the frame and the hull. The rear hatch behind the seat leaked like no gasket was present. A close inspection showed the frame being wrapped by the hull so bad that when the when the hatch was in place a gap existed along all edges between the frame and lid. My lid is the old style with "dogs" in each corner. Tried the foam weather stripping on the rear and it helped some. I am going to try the "D" weather stripping next. The frames are riveted to the hull and drilling out the rivets is a pain in the butt.
