Hatch Lens
 

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

What did you break?

Need some bullit proof glass call biswinger in Galveston.

a lens is for telescopes not hatches numbnuts.

Thanks Joe. You are truly on a par with Capt Kneel when it
comes to boating knowledge and using insults to try to make yourself
appear smarter than you are. I don't blame either one of you for that
you both do need all the help you can get.
The "lens" in my hatches are crazed (do you need me to explain that to
you?) and I am replacing them.

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.

Dont get your panties in a wad.

Bizwinger glass is one of the best in the country when it comes to
custom fit bullit proff glass. They did all my wheelhouse glass. I
assumed your a brit with your crazy Lens refference. WTF you need a
tele number or what? Whipe the snot out of your nose and I will be
happy to provide you a tele number. They are good guys and know what
they are doing, they did all my wheelhouse glass at a reasonable price.

Joe

Bull****! Lexan crazes over time. If your doing a hatch use armored
glass.

Do you want Bizwanger glasses number or not?

Joe

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

Thanks Joe. I don't need the number right now but might later. How did
you know my nose was running?
BTW the last time I looked, Roswell, Georgia wasn't close to the UK.

Well lens implies an item that provide a focus. I work with optical
engineers all the time and when you imply Lens for a window I assumed
you were a ******.

Dont listen to Mooron. I spent over 2000 bucks on Lexan for my side
windows and after 8 years they are not living up to my expecations of
clarity. If you have a small "lens" then go with Armored glass not
Lexan. Lexan may be as tough but in the long run Glass is superior. How
large is your "lens"?

Joe

They are Lewmar 60's the "glass" (the instructions called them lens) is
about 22x22.
