An update: X Dimension is back in Boston, moored at her usual home at
Waterboat Marina.
The boat was delivered from Boothbay by MIT's youngest skipper, All
American sailor Lisa Sukharev-Chuyan, 24, and her younger brother Max. Lisa
picked a good window post-Irma/Jose, before Maria hits New England
Dave,
I have to confess that I rebed my original hatch to stop a leak and ended up
through bolting it and used acorn nuts. Wish I hadn't. Looks bad and I do keep
hitting my head. Wish I knew of butyl tape when I did the job.

This list is suppo
I installed the Ocean 60 series hatches on Expresso (C&C 35 Mk II) and used
butyl tape and sheet metal screws. They never leaked after 13 years. I
could never live with exposed nuts.

Did the same on our 37 Amazing Grace about five years ago. Used new screws, no
bolts. Invested time in digging out the minor amount of open weak wood. There
was no rot but around the screws has some gaps and would not have held the
screws with out solid filling. After filling with epoxy l

My boat is in the marina at Port Angeles. Checked shaft anodes at 12 months
and they were gone. Diver told me to expect 6 months max. I do have
galvanic isolator.

Hi Dave, Is there no headliner?  I just replaced 6 hatches in my boat.  All the
hatches are framed below with teak. Â I made sure the bolts were sunk and the
teak covered everything. Â On my last boat I lived with the exposed nuts and
washers. Â I dressed them up a bit with cap nuts. Â That also hel
I replaced my hatch on Pegasus with the lewmar ocean hatch. None of the holes
matched. I plugged and refilled new holes. Used #12 or 14 (can't remember) Â
sheet metal screws and butyl tape. Like you I did not nuts hanging down to

Dave,
I haven't done exactly what you describe but have done similar work. If it
was me, I'd fill the old holes with thickened epoxy and go with the #12
fasteners.
You didn't say if the new bolt pattern completely or partially overlaid the
A&H hatch. If it matches, overbore and fill.
In fact,
So I’m crowd-sourcing this question that I have. Always good ideas and
experiences here.
I purchased a Lewmar Ocean Hatch 60 (shout-out to Fred Street) last year and am
now getting ready to install it as a replacement for the Atkins-Hoyle hatch
that I buggered up removing it prior to painting t

Boats I have seen cut into disposable pieces were cut with a sawzall. I have
seen this happen to a Ranger 26 and a Cal 29. I don’t know why a 43 would be
much different – it would just take longer. It’s a shame to see.

That sounds about right. There are a lot of variables in the equation though.
I’ve been in the water six months as well and my zinc is probably 70% or less.
I’m in a brackish river off the Chesapeake. I usually don’t have to replace
the zinc during the season. By the time I haul
