[C320-list] spinnaker/whisker pole fitting & portlights

[Mike Mellon]

Bill, as I recall, you can get new polycarbonate lenses from Lewmar or 
have them fabricated yourself at a plastic shop (cut our shape and drill 
holes for closing levers).

At least for my boat, #324 1996.

On the pole attachment to mast, I attached a 4 foot track so I could 
adjust the height of the pole end, then a car with a ring.  I drilled 
and tapped the holes and used Tufgel to insulated the SS screws from the 
aluminum mast.

Best wishes,

Mike Mellon

I'm told by Catalina Direct the entire hatch must be removed/replaced...anyone have experience with that/suggestions?
