[C320-list] companionway sliding hatch replacement

[Monte B.]

To those of us and those who will,
   A high quality plastics shop can duplicate virtually any true plastic
part on your boat if you take them the part and say I want one like this. In
Dallas it would be Regal Plastics and if you are not in a large commercial
area web sites and shipping might save you more than you might think,
 and if you want to do something Catalina didn't think of they can probably
do that too. I know it sounds simplistic but I rarely think of Catalina as
my first source for parts.

Catalina charges $425 for the new cover.  The covers have changed since your
model if it is the all plexiglass or lexon one.  Now they are all fiberglass
with a small area of plexiglass.  My stop broke several years ago and I just
bought two teak strips and made them a little longer and then replaced the
two metal side strips.  My wife wanted more teak and thats what she got.
Unfortunately this year I developed a long crack in the top and I am first
going to see if a glass shop can fabricate a new lexon piece.
