Ian, We have replaced all 3 opening hatches on Perception with Lewmars with no flange. The Lewmars actually match the radius of the corners in the openings better than the Bomars we removed. If memory serves the forward hatch was a 60. We used the Ocean Series as I liked the taller profile especially on the forward hatch on the 33-2 which has the forward edge at deck level.

I have replaced the lens on mine and it is cracked again because the frame is not true. I am thinking of replacing it with either a Lewmar Ocean series 60 (flat base) or a medium profile 60. The latter has a flange base which will require me to open up the opening a little. I would love input from anyone who has experience doing this. I think the medium profile would look better and still be strong enough to support my bowman but the ocean series will be an easier job. Thanks Ian Matthew C&C 39-1.
