I had to use an easy-out to get one screw out. One of the listers suggested
valve grinding compound. It worked on the other screw.

Don,

Thanks for the heads up.  I was looking at that earlier tonight and was
going to ask about that.  I tried to back the screws out, of course with no
luck so far.  Perhaps a bigger screw driver may help, or like you said,
drill the old screws out, and hopefully be able to get new ones in?  We'll
see.  We'll get back to you later with a progress report.  Did you try any
penetrating oil of sorts and did it help?

Thanks,

Brad

I replaced mine on a 34 a few years back.  The major challenge was the set
screws that go through the round knobs on the top.  They had to be drilled
out and new holes put in.  If yours works the same way and if they come out
then the rest is straight forward, if not, well it was a challenge.  I just
got a new lens cut at one of the plastics places in town using the old one
as a template.



I had another issue which was more my fault.  I tried Sikaflex first
without the special primer which was about $60.  It leaked.  The second
time I used Dow Corning 795  which cost less than the Sikaflex, let alone
the primer, and it never leaked.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice for replacing a busted
plexiglass of  the front hatch on a ‘81 C&C 36?  Would it be a Atkins and
Hoyle hatch? I’ve been thinking of doing it myself but maybe it would be
best to send it off to someone with lots of experience such as Hatchmasters
or Select Plastics? Any thoughts would be appreciated.



Thanks,



Brad
