WTB Hobie Outback front hatch bucket

Hey all

I am looking for a Hobie front hatch bucket. I made the DIY one but it tends to slip. I am looking for an original Hobie bucket ... thanks!

Be sure to rubber seal the top of the gear bucket or the hatch won't be watertight

Hi

Can you provide more into of what you used exactly cause I'm having water problems now that you mentioned it.

Suspect water is getting in through front hatch and maybe the gear bucket..

I just ditched the bucket. Buy some weather seal from Home Depot and line the underside of te hatch where it contacts the gear bucket.
