I have used the Plexus (I think) that Lewmar recommended on two different small
hatches on my 1995 C&C.
One I think I did twice in 25+ years, the other is still holding.
Given the stress that can be put on the handle/portlight plastic ‘joint’, I was
amazed that it held at all—certainly would not want to get that Plexus on my
fingers!
BTW, of the 3 ‘failures’, 2 were the result of crew stepping on the plastic
while the hatch was held in the ‘cracked open’ position or open but with the
handle turned..
One thing I did not do was to try to clean-up the old ‘glue’ since some was
left on both surfaces and removing it would have been a PITA. I otherwise
followed the directions and used a C-clamp to squeeze the handle to the
plexiglass during the curing process. YMMV,

Anyone have experience with securing the handle on the small hatch handle. The
handle in this case is glued to the hatch and is not through bolted like the
bigger hatches. The newer version has a bolt through handle so I assume they
have lost of issues with the handles falling off. I have used two types of
epoxies recommended by Lewmar and neither has worked.
