We are experiencing leaks from the rear edge of our Moonlight hatch on the 275 (1994). The only UK agent says it is too difficult to replace the seal and not practical to tighten the handle (this could help the sealing process).
Does anyone have experience of this and has successfully fixed it?

If you have the same hatch as me - Lewmar I think - the leaks we have had are through the handle axle / spindles. If you take these apart there are O rings which can be replaced and cure this problem.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the post but we have already done this and I can watch the water coming through the seal! It is definitely a Moonlight hatch (made in Denmark) not a Lewmar.
