Has anyone pulled out the companionway main hatch on a Landfall 38? It looks like it's not as simple as one might expect - to remove it I'll need to unbolt our traveler in order to unscrew the 40-odd screws holding down the fiberglass companionway cover and clean/scrape the old butyl and sealant.
It's not possible to just slide out the hatch acrylic since the fiberglass hatch cover blocks that (I could cut a slot in the fiberglass in 2 spots to do it, but don't want to do that). I have a photo I’ll try to attach below. The reason we need to pull the hatch is that there seems to be something jammed in the track slide - sometimes when we try to slide open the hatch it jams on a screw or something loose in the track, which I can't see or recover. The fiberglass cover is also due for resealing anyway, as it leaks in some spots. This looks like a big job, just wondering if anyone else has done it and has tips or a blog post. \-Patrick 1984 C&C LF38
