I am looking at a boat that needs a new deck hatch (plastic lens is
cracked). How difficult is it to replace a hatch (10" x 10")?



Mine was pretty easy......the plexi was just held in by the
caulking......ran a razor blade knife around it, and pulled it out. Took
the plexi to a plexi fabricator and had them duplicate it...holes curves
etc. (cost was around $100) ...yes I could have done it myself, but time
was
an issue.......then just use the marine caulk to set it back in......make
sure you tape it off because that stuff is a bitch to clean off (it takes
a
could days to set hard)



Thanks for the information but it is a moot issue now. The seller just
called and refused our offer. So onto looking at more boats. ;-)
