New Member with a question
Hello After a month of lurking I thought I'd come out and ask a few questions.
I have an eighty-one C 22 as a "get it out of here" deal PO didn't want to pay anymore dockage. I was happy to oblige.
A question: the hatches I see on some of the pictures appear to have some teak across the topside of the hatch covers, is that some thing that was normal?? I do not have any on mine but am thinking of adding some for trim.
Any info appreciated. BC

No, it is just brown fiberglass with no gelocat over it. It is to let light shine through those brown areas. Works ok. On my boat one strip is like new and the rest are kind of weathwered and dried out looking. He said he renewed that one by applying Purple Power cleaner to it and letting it sit. Guess it disolved the oxidation. Looks nice.

My C26 has the teak strips on the hatches original to the boat. one of my favorite things about her. It also makes makes a great non skid surface.BC wrote:A question: the hatches I see on some of the pictures appear to have some teak across the topside of the hatch covers, is that some thing that was normal??

yeah, purple powe the degreaser is what he said he used. Said it sort sat on it for a while, turned a bit yellow and then he scrubbed it off. I guess it must have stripped any oxidation off as well as a bit if the resin. I will try and get a pic to post.Tommy Monaco wrote:Purple Power? The degreaser? I wonder if any degreaser would work similarly. Do you remember if he only used it on the outside? Or inside too? Mine really look like garbage, and I'd love to get them looking cleaner and letting in even light.

Hatch's
Thanks for the input
My sliding hatch cover is a solid fiberglass that is starting to de=laminate, and I lost the forward hatch will moving the boat home.
So I need to do something for the forward hatch. A little teak trim would be a nice touch. Just a little - not to much.

Welcome aboard BC, glade to have you on the Chrysler crew.
Your first posting and you taught me 2 things. I never new of any teak strips on the hatches and I thought the last Chrysler sailboat was made in 1980. Good stuff, thanks.
