Isn’t: 1) The gasket is only between the cast lid (in the groove underneath) and the frame to seal the frame to the lid when closed?. As pointed out the gasket material could be obtained from numerous sources. 2) The acrylic is bedded in in the frame with compound? ... Sikaflex 295 UV? 3) The frame is bonded to the deck with butyl and screws. 4) New cast acrylic could be obtained from multiple sources using the old one as a template.
So with regards to replacing the acrylic, a lot of the discussion that just took place here regarding window replacement also is applicable to hatches. In my case (C&C 27 MkIII) the PO had screws installed at the 4 corners of the hatch acrylic into the cast lid – I don’t think those are original ... It appears to be where mine is now leaking from (of course!) Also the windows were re-bedded (probably acrylic replaced) with screws included every 6-inches or so ... that’s (of course) where the windows are now leaking from (in fact the screws have damaged the cabin side fiberglass around the window opening and I can even pull a couple screws right out of the cabin side .... completely stripped!)

You should be able to take out the pin and remove the lid and work on it at home.

I will be committed to replacing the gasket or the complete window at that point. I will look for a name or number on the unit this afternoon. Hoe is the frame bolted? I don't see any access to the underside of the window? Is it bolted into wood with woof screws from the top side using only butle tape?
