I replaced the fwd hatch on Pegasus with a Lewmar Ocean series flat bottom no flange. I did have to fill the old screw holes. But the finished product was worth the effort. My head is now dry when it rains at night.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 #4just west of Ballard, WA. ---

Ian, I haven’t mounted it yet because the decks have to be painted first but I’m replacing my forward Atkins & Hoyle hatch with an Ocean 60. I’ve done a quick dry fit it and it will be an easy job. I’m partial to the Ocean series both from a “looks” point of view and overall ruggedness. FWIW,

Paul — what transducer are you running, and for which chart plotter? Generally, depth transducers should NOT be cut, as it can affect their performance depending on the skill of the person doing the reattaching. But impedance is critical to the frequencies being used, so a cut-and-splice can b

My 1978 C&C 34 (#117) is the same.  The bulkheads are tabbed to the hull.  The headliner is glued to the deck before landing the deck to the hull.  There was some (loosely) adhesive applied at the top of the bulkheads, but it is really meant to "float" against the deck.  Most of the time the squ

Paul, If your goal is to put the Ram mike close by at the helm, I’d advocate for a cockpit bulkhead mount rather than a helm mount. The reason being is that inside every microphone/speaker happens to be an active magnet and the movement of that magnet tends to play havoc with compass headings.

Paul, As Fred said, you can try running the wires the other way. I did that for a different chartplotter (Garmin), so the connectors were smaller (about 1/2” if I recall), but I found it easier to run the cable from the pedestal end into the inside of the boat (rather than the other way around)

About cutting and splicing transducer wiring: It depends. Conventional transducers required specific lengths of cable for impedance. Newer nmea 2000 compliant transducers typically don't. When I rewired the instruments with a "whole boat" nmea 2000 backbone I researched it pretty extensively

I don’t use hole saws and the like; I’ve found a much better and faster way to do this. Most pods like the Navpod series have basically a round hole for wire entry; but the pod itself covers a much larger area of the tubing. As some of the connectors don’t turn a 90° angle when exiting the tub
