Looking for Hatch Rails - 1984 ODay 222

[JimGate]

Looking for advice on how to best replace the hatch rails on my 1984 ODay 222. Are there any available that would work? Thought I would ask before creating my own. Jim

Another member responded here with the link…Hatch Runners is the correct name. Thank you.

If you have the tools, you can make those runners from PlasTeak, no maintenance and slippery: Home - PlasTEAK Inc.

If the runner has worn down over the years, you may end up with a horrible screech whenever you open/close the hatch

Thank you to those who responded regarding my search for hatch runners. I understand teak runners or StarBoard material could be used. Opinions on which is best? Also, the current runners’ hardware is crumbling. Once removed, could I epoxy the new runners in place? Thank you for your input! Jim
