Main Hatch Rebuild.

Post by BC »

My main hatch is in need of replacing and I'm getting no place trying to buy a replacement, so I wonder if anyone has any experience rebuilding a main hatch?
Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

Hey BC,

This is to another site, the Plastic Classic forum, and an Erickson 27 project where he rebuilt the sliding hatch. You'll need to scroll about 1/3 the way down and further to see it finished. Cool project boat by the way, very similiar to my Catalina project, only his is on the water now :roll:

Hope it helps

Thanks Bill.
If you go through from page 1 on that link, u can see a huge project unfold. That's really entertaining.
What a beautiful job. Of course he is certifiable for putting that much effort into a San Juan, but then again, they probably say that about us!

Hello BC, if you are looking for a c22 main hatch moonshine Jim is parting out his 22 footer. Check out the for sale section if you haven't already. Good luck, Jeff

Ground to windward is dearly bought, but easly spent.
