TACO Marine Hatch Tape V30-0748B8-2, 1/4 x 3/4 Inch x 8 Feet, Black Closed-Cell Foam Seal
This hatch tape from TACO Marine is a self-adhesive, closed-cell foam gasket tape designed to seal boat hatches and prevent rattling while the boat is underway. Made from medium density closed-cell foam, it compresses to form a snug, water-resistant seal between a hatch and its frame, keeping out spray and cushioning the hatch against vibration and impact noise. The tape measures 1/4 inch thick by 3/4 inch wide and comes in an 8 foot length, giving enough material to seal a standard hatch opening in a single piece or to be cut down for smaller applications. It is finished in black to blend in with most hatch and deck hardware. Installation is straightforward: clean and dry the mounting surface, then peel the backing and press the tape into place along the hatch lip or frame, with no additional adhesives or tools required. The closed-cell structure resists water absorption, so the foam will not become waterlogged or lose its sealing properties over repeated exposure to marine conditions. TACO Marine backs this hatch tape with a five-year limited warranty. It is a simple, low-cost way to quiet a loose-fitting hatch and add a layer of weather resistance to hatch openings, storage compartments, and access ports on boats and other outdoor equipment.
