I replaced my hatches with Bomar's. The guy who did them screwed them up so bad that I will have to redo them myself. It takes some modification to get them right.

Did you convert from the Post hatches to Bomar or from another brand? Somewhere in the late 80's Post stopped using their own custom hatches. I warn all my guests NOT to step on the hatches. I dread the day having to replace them.

Looks to me like you have to grind down the molded lip to get a somewhat flat surface to mount the new hatch. Provided you can even find a size that matches what is there now.

Personally I think its a mistake to go with bomar on the foredeck. It wouldnt be too difficult to take a mold off an old hatch and lay up new ones... With our first 42 we painted the hatches and they looked great.. I am planning on doing the same with our new 46'
