Bruce,
See below for emails from my boatyard when they replaced my hatch. Photos can be found at: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhpB-lul9d5YqTvkapMRJyXOGr2V Your boat may be different. The new skylight appears to be held in place with adhesive. I did not see any evidence of VHB tape. The sliders were also replaced with something a little thicker (and more substantial). Hope this helps, Ron Ron Ricci S/V Patriot C&C 37+ Bristol, RI <mailto:ron.ri...@1968.usna.com> ron.ri...@1968.usna.com _____ Ron, See email below from Dan. It appears the skylight was adhered with epoxy, and we will need to do some gelcoat repairs to the opening. Also, see his comment about the companionway hatch slides. Mark Mark DeStefano Service Coordinator From: Dan Murphy Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 9:27 AM To: Mark DeStefano Subject: RE: Patriot Thanks for the info Mark. Here are those pictures we discussed. As mentioned, the hatch is coming up, but fighting all the way. Whatever they used for glue was the real deal and there is some delamination to the hatch perimter frame that will need repair. Also, we need to replace the sliders. Delrin or starboard is likely the best bet. We don't have an estimate yet but can work something out for the customer if he needs a number. Thanks, Dan
