Thanks for that info Rob. It has been so long since mine were destroyed/removed, I don't know how or to what they were attached although I figure there is no way to replace them without removing the massive fiberglass 'hood'--about 50 screws plus it is likely pretty heavy. Do your 'tracks' attach to the fixed window that the sliding hatch slides over as it is opened or the cabin top itself? Before I remove the 'hood', I prefer to have an idea of how/where the replacement tracks should be attached. Charlie NelsonC&C 36

Those ‘tracks’ indeed hold water in that cavity outboard. If they are gone, the water can overflow that much easier. I actually added height to the sliding tracks with a strip of wood. Also my boat was floating bow down so that cavity forward of the hatch opening collected water but wouldn’t drain aft into the cockpit. I moved my anchor and chain out of the anchor locker to under the cockpit to change the fore-and-aft trim to help. Rob Ball. C&C 34 Sent from my iPhone
