have 1968 redline 41 by bruckmann mfg....removed dorades..,back in early
80s....were fastened from below as well as from inside boxes...also
glassed....within box....were not designed to be removed......had to have
yard  ..cut them off...instead of new dorades went with aluminium  14 by 8
inch hatches...alternated which way opened....one of best changes
made....especially when in hot climates....30 yrs later..lewmar hatches
still in great shape....also less teak to maintain...with way yard
installed hatches ...  length wise parallel to boat centerline....at least
2 can be open depending on direction of wave spray...have really worked
well....also look great...not what had in mind when project started...later
replaced teak hatches with lewmar aluminium hatches..no more leaks when
teak wood dried out in hot summer sun.....good luck on your project....have
you decided on deck treatment?
