Dave, I have to confess that I rebed my original hatch to stop a leak and ended up through bolting it and used acorn nuts. Wish I hadn't. Looks bad and I do keep hitting my head. Wish I knew of butyl tape when I did the job. Dave. Kaseler SLY 1975 C 33 Sent from my iPad > On Sep 26, 2017, at

I installed the Ocean 60 series hatches on Expresso (C 35 Mk II) and used butyl tape and sheet metal screws. They never leaked after 13 years. I could never live with exposed nuts. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA ~~~_/)~~ On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 5:17 PM, Dave

Dave Did the same on our 37 Amazing Grace about five years ago. Used new screws, no bolts. Invested time in digging out the minor amount of open weak wood. There was no rot but around the screws has some gaps and would not have held the screws with out solid filling. After filling with epoxy

Hi Dave, Is there no headliner?  I just replaced 6 hatches in my boat.  All the hatches are framed below with teak.  I made sure the bolts were sunk and the teak covered everything.  On my last boat I lived with the exposed nuts and washers.  I dressed them up a bit with cap nuts.  That also

I replaced my hatch on Pegasus with the lewmar ocean hatch. None of the holes matched. I plugged and refilled new holes. Used #12 or 14 (can't remember)   sheet metal screws and butyl tape. Like you I did not nuts hanging down to crack my head on. That's the way the original was installed, and

Dave, I haven't done exactly what you describe but have done similar work. If it was me, I'd fill the old holes with thickened epoxy and go with the #12 fasteners. You didn't say if the new bolt pattern completely or partially overlaid the A hatch. If it matches, overbore and fill. In fact,

So I’m crowd-sourcing this question that I have. Always good ideas and experiences here. I purchased a Lewmar Ocean Hatch 60 (shout-out to Fred Street) last year and am now getting ready to install it as a replacement for the Atkins-Hoyle hatch that I buggered up removing it prior to painting

Bruce, That sounds about right. There are a lot of variables in the equation though. I’ve been in the water six months as well and my zinc is probably 70% or less. I’m in a brackish river off the Chesapeake. I usually don’t have to replace the zinc during the season. By the time I haul
