[C320-list] Hatches and Portlights and Deadlights...oh my...

[Dave Hupe]

 I was told by Catalina Yachts that they had templates for the windows ("deadlights").  However, they said they still wanted tracings to check against their templates. Believe me, my tracings were very exact.  I think someone at Catalina compared them (hopefully), but determined that they were close enough to just go from their templates. As I said they didn't fit as would have liked, but I made it work. 
Catalina makes a special bevel on the edge of these windows for mounting. So, I doubt you would be able get a local manufacturer to replicate that.

 Thanks Dave,
Sounds like the deadlight replacements that you got from CD not exactly match the tracings that you provided.  Sounds like we might be better off having the produced locally where they can use the existing ones as a pattern?
Thanks,
