[C320-list] BOMAR hatches

[Pat Moriarty]

We had a couple of bad hatch lens in our marina and the forward was 
about $47 and the main salon hatch was $35 from a local plastic 
distributor. Remove the old and they use it as a pattern. They are 
not that hard to remove or replace but the caulk in black isn't all 
that easy to come by locally. I could not believe how clear the view 
from the main hatch with a new lens, I guess 20 years leaves a few scratches.
