Thanks for all the input everyone. Dennis, I'll give you a call in a couple of weeks, I was planning on sailing out to Mandeville at around the same time you're getting back from skiing, the weekend of Feb 18th. We can take a look then. I'm debating on rebuilding, but it's going to require all new hardware, a new frame, and new lexan/plexi. It'll still cheaper than a new hatch, especially since it's not a standard sized opening.
To answer one of the earlier questions, it appears to be original hatches on Tango. White fiberglass panel on top, teak frame edges that fit over an inner teak frame that's attached to the deck. two hinges are fastened to the deck. Inside frame holds the sliding screw stop hardware for keeping the hatch open, and it's reversible (opens facing either bow or stern). Well, at least the one in the man cabin is reversible, I don't know about the one I'm replacing since it was blown off of the deck in a hurricane and replaced by a shoddy makeshift cover. Brandon
