[C320-list] Lewmar hatch removal

[Jeff Hare]

While I don't specifically remember how to remove the hatch cover, here's a option you may haven't considered.

The aft cabin escape hatch is identical to the center main cabin hatch.  Our main cabin hatch was quite crazed after 7 or 8 years.  Just swap the two to have an almost new looking main hatch.  Then when that one finally needs replacing have them do both at the same time.

Just a thought.
