Brandon: My previous boat, an Ericson 30, had wood framed hatches. I replaced them with Bomar hatches, and removed some of the fiberglass to which the old hatches were mounted.
Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR I'm looking to replace my forward hatch on my C&C 35 Mk1. Dimensions are 21.625" X 25.375" OD, 20.75" X 24.5 ID. Any suggestions on what to replace it with? I can't seem to find anything to fit, so should I consider removing the "lip" the old hatch fit over? Or should i epoxy in an additional spacer to get the frame down to a standard size, say maybe the Bowmar 20 3/16" X 30 3/16" or similar? Or should I just build a new hatch out of fiberglass and wood frame like the original that's on the boat? I'd prefer something that's going to be water tight, obviously. and it would be nice to have some light coming through. Thanks in advance for any tips and recommendations.
