New Hatch Covers

   After 15yrs, our hatch covers were highly crazed. Because of the way they are constructed, it is much simpler to replace the cover rather than install new plexiglass. The glass is embedded in the cover with a caulking which has to be dug out and then replaced - reportedly a very messy business by those DIYers who have discussed the process. Defender boat supplies just happened to have covers on sale, so I bought new ones.

  Simply replacing the covers makes this a 30min job rather than a couple days. The new covers look great and are crystal clear.
