Hi John,
The boat is named COMP and is located in Pine Island Bay on a town mooring.
Winter store at Pine Island Marina.
Where in Noank are you located? Your 34 came with a hatch in the head? I ended
up cutting one in about 6 years back.
Best, Carl

HI Carl. The forward hatch has screws. My query is about the ventilation
hatch in the head – no screws
Nice to see another 34 in Groton. Your boat name and where located?

John,
Butyl is the way to go on these. The hatch is only held in with self tapping
screws.
As Paul mentioned the seal can have issues on the very back of hatch where the
joint is.

John, There is no flange on these and the perimeter is vertical, top to bottom.
Also, the hinge side has seal issue and is prone to leaking. Not a great
design. I took mine out about 8 years ago, changed the seal, plexi, and reset
it. I can’t remember what I did in the resetting process but it has been 98%
good since then. It’s not perfect with the odd drip occasionally, but I’m
leaving well enough alone. I know that’s not much help for you.

My Atkins & Hoyle hatch in the head has developed a leak between the aluminum
frame and the deck. Have tried various sealants which all have failed mainly
because they lose adhesion to the vertical aluminum surface. Cannot figure out
how to remove the frame so I can clean it and reseal (with butyl?). There are
no visible flanges. It is a tight fit to the hole cur in the deck. Has anyone
had similar issues? Is there a flange on the frame that is sealed to the
underside of the deck? Is it just glued in with plexus or similar? All
thoughts welcomed
