    Hatch leaks

    I'm new into bass boats and recently got a used 2015 Z6 w/ 115 Merc CT 4 Stroke. I think it's a great little starter boat but unfortunately, the hatches leak pretty bad. is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Yes. Open them, tighten the hatches to the lid itself with the two screws inside. As the carpet wears/ squeezes they get loose. Then. Tighten the arm if you have compression latches like my z8 has

    ok thanks, I'll give that a try.

    anyone else try anything else? gaskets or maybe a bead of silicone or whatever? is this a common problem with this boat?..
