On our 33-ll they go into the fibreglass lip around the hatches. We replaced the bomar hatches with Lewmar ocean series hatches that turned out to match the openings better. When we were doing this we found some cracks in the liner/ deck moles join which we filled with gflex.

Hello all, Time to consider replacing the crazed acrylic on Windstar’s 3 bomar hatches. These are fastened through the deck with Philips-head screws, and are bedded in butyl. The interior/underside of the deck is neither visible nor accessible as it is covered by the liner. What do these screws screw in to? Nuts? Tapped backing plates? The fiberglass deck only? Anything I should be aware of as I tackle this? Thanks all, as always. Dave 33-2 windstar Sent from my iPhone
