Our forward deck storage hatch is closed by a Lewmar GEBO hatch cover with a
very dark (almost black) acrylic window. There is always a lot of
condensation on the inside of the hatch dripping down in the storage area,
which does not have a drain. (over an average month almost a gallon of water
has to be pumped out).

Since we do not need to look through the hatch I am wondering if I could
reduce the condensation by either a) paint the hatch window with a glossy
white paint to reflect the incoming sun rays or b) glue a layer of aluminum
foil on the inside of the acrylic.

Any comments or advice will be most welcome.

Thanks
Claus
