Thanks Capt.
It sure is nice to get a straight answer every once in awhile. Do
you know the difference between Lexan and acrylic? I found one place
that you could send them and they would would send you an estimate that
you had to approve before they started reworking them. They said that
their price was usually about half what a new hatch would cost but that
seems high to me. They specified that the hatchs (Lewmar) had to have
acrylic. I have never worked with Lexan or an acrylic so I not sure how
much trouble it is.
Thanks Again

Lexan.... tinted if required. It shouldn't be difficult to locate a local
supplier in your area. You can cut and drill it yourself from the original
as a template or pay to have it done. I'm replacing mine this spring. I'll
cut it with a jigsaw and use my drill press to make the bolt holes. Sand and
polish the edges. If you have a seal channel like mine ... use a router to
carve it. Buy extra Lexan so you can practise your cuts.

Has anyone replaced a hatch lens lately or know a good place to have one
duplicated?
