Hello all, On our 37/40+, I think one of the leaks into the interior of the boat is coming from the stop for the companionway hatch. There is a athwartship board that serves as a stop for the companionway hatch that, though I can only get my fingers on it, appears loose this is under the hood that covers the front and sides of the hatch.
I am thinking of doing away with the board stop, and allowing the wood piece at the front of the hat to act like a stop. That's how it was set up on our C&C 27 MKIII. I am thinking I would remove the 18" or so length of wood, and fill in the holes with white Marine Tex. First question - is there an easy way to get the hood off for easier access and to make sure we have everything sealed? Second, what think you about removing the board and allowing the front of the hatch (with the wood drop-down to act as the stop? Thanks for your input!
