[C320-list] Hatch Size

[Jeff Hare]

Price differential is certainly a consideration, but also consider that the hatch is already at least 18 or 19 years old now.  
But I'd rather have a shiny new hatch, new seals, new hinge, etc. for just some incremental cost, then I'm not touching that thing again as long as I own the boat...   😊

Compare the total costs of replacing the plastic (including adhesive, or shipping/delivery if you send it out, etc.)

Once I price it out, I might consider that if the difference is big enough. I'll have to find a glass/plastics place around here first, shouldn't be a problem being in the Baltimore/Annapolis area. I would still like to know what I have though just because I'm an information nut, I copied out the measurements on the Lewmar site, I'll go back down and do some detailed measurements. I was just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their heads.

I removed mine and cut out the lens and went to a glass place, used the old lens as a template and bought a new plexiglas 10mm lens. Used Dow Corning 795 to rebed it. Worked like a hot damn!

It was leaking pretty bad so I simply tightened the Phillips head screws down, they were pretty loose. The leaking has seemed to have stopped but I think I should take it off and check for water damage in the core if it ever stops raining. Also, the lense is really crazed and of course the whole thing needs rebedding,  I figure I should just replace it and be done. Defender has them for around $420 +/-. The boat is a year 2000 but DOM was Nov. '99. Anyone know for sure?
