Alex,

That hatch is for the anchor rode.  The attached screenshot is from Defender Marine ( www.Defender.com<http://www.Defender.com> ):

If it’s leaking, the most likely culprit is a bad O-ring seal.  The new snap-in deck plate will have a fresh O-ring.  You might also check the O-ring sealing surface on the female part of the deck plate.  It’s possible that some dirt got in there and it’s preventing the O-ring on the snap-in plate from making a proper seal.

Note that there should also be a snap-in low profile cowl vent that fits the deck plate:

At anchor, that cowl vent really helps ventilate the cabin.

Also, there should be a plastic hose and a thru hull in the bow to drain the anchor locker.  If the water is not drained, it will reflux and tend to condense on the V-berth overhead.  The bracket probably broke because the locker got full of water and the weight overloaded the bracket.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Where to find parts?

Hi there,

I found today that there was quite a lot of water on the ceiling of the
V-berth of my boat (see attached picture). Fortunately, there's some kind
of triangular bucket that collects this water, so nothing got damaged in
the V-berth.

I found that the inspection hatch that is at the bow of the boat was the
culprit for this leak. I went to West Marine but couldn't find a
replacement. The inside diameter is 3-1/2", but the smallest that was
available in store was 4".

My questions are:
- What is this hatch used for?
- Should I replace this hatch with an identical one, or should I open a
larger hole to fit a 4" hatch?
- If I should get an identical hatch, any idea where I can find one?

I would also like to replace the plastic frame of the cockpit shelves. One
of them is broken, but again, West Marine doesn't seem to have that in
store. Do you happen to know where I can find replacement parts?

Pictures attached so that you can see what I mean.

Thanks!
Alexis
