2013 Yamaha 242 Limited S "Inspection Cover/Gasket"??

[renrab]

Just curious guys, I am trying to find a new gasket for the bilge access on the rear swim deck as mine is damaged. When I started looking for a new gasket I realized I think I am missing a cover piece lol.

Should the cover in the picture below have come with my boat???

Thanks in advance!

Yes. It’s a tight fit but maybe it slipped under the tray somehow. $70+, i’d definitely check under the tray and would consider giving the previous owner a call before searching for a used one eBay. I think it is a standard or generic part, maybe something that Atwood makes so the only reason to overpay for it is because it cannot be found anywhere else.

LOL! it always seemed odd to me that it had a gasket, I always thought to myself how does the rear deck hatch even make contact with that gasket.
