I have an original Atkins and Hoyle forward hatch for sale. Had the lens replaced, still leaks around the knobs. Tired of messing with it. Make me an offer.

It’s actually a pretty easy fix. There is a standard seal that you can buy from an auto parts store (I forget the size but the old one can be the reference) that goes in that space. I take the top piece off every few years and put a dab of grease on the seal. The problem of the A&H cover dumping water below when it is opened with water on top is another issue! When I asked the A&H rep about that at the boat show, he suggested that I buy a new A&H cover! Fat chance!

I went the Lewmar Ocean 70. Extremely happy with it.

Did you have to do any excavation for the 3 hinges? If so, how did that go?

I did have to grind some out. Also had to grind out a little for the latches. Went pretty smooth. Just used a router bit and the router attachment on my dremel.
