I have a recurring leak issue with a 22" square hatch on a 24' power boat. I can't seem to keep the water out. I am wondering what the best ways to seal in a hatch and keep water out are?

A 30' garage should do quite nicely.

Solittle: too funny :) <br />Nat, I would recomend removing the hatch completely, cleaning the area & adress any corrosion of the hatch or rotted areas at the boats cutout the reseal with 3M 5200 or a high quality silicone like dow corning 732 (i think its 732, clear)also make sure the the seal around the glass is good and clean lube with silicone.
