Ted I just removed the centre hatch on my boat as it was also leaking, I’m buying a new lens from Fort Glass, as the old one had several cracks in it. I’m also going thicker, 10mm, as the 1/4” lens is not strong enough in my opinion. I took the hatch right off the boat and cut around the lens into the caulking with a box cutter; it then came out fairly easily and then I scraped out the rest of the caulk. I’m going to use dow Corning 795 which Catalina recommends.
