Butyl Rubber Tape to seal Bomar hatch?

[Breezin 0]

Trailer Boats magazine has a story about using "Butyl Rubber Tape" to seal deck hardware. Could this be used to seal the round Bomar hatch on my 2001 242? I have been using 5200 but it seems to pop loose in places after a while. I remenber reading somewhere a while ago that you could also use "saturated foam tape", but i could never find any locally.

Rubber butyl tape works great, I used it on the Hatch of my 242 4 years ago and haven't touched it since. I found it at CampingWorld but most RV stores carry it

Thanks for the response. I will get some and re-seal the hatch soon. Do you remember what thickness of tape you used?
