[C320-list] Bomar Hatch Screens?

[Irving Grunes]

On our 2001 #851 there is a frame for a screen insert on the salon hatch and
the aft berth hatch.

Our V-Berth hatch does NOT have that the frame for the screen insert.

Check hatches before you order screens.
I made a drop-over screen for all of the hatches from fiberglass screening I
got at home depot, then hatches could not only be adjusted or  closed
quickly if it started to rain without fussing to remove screen.

I also made a fiberglass screen for the main hatch

Check all your hatches for that frame
