Has anyone successfully installed a hatch in an old style Catalina 22 (1972) that did not have one? If so, what did you use?
You could always build up a ring or frame that will saddle the curvature and give you a flat surface to mount the hatch.My concern is the curvature of the deck. From what I can tell, aftermarket hatches are for flat surfaces.
Indeed. Hatches need a flat surface with less then 1cm curve over the entire length or width.My concern is the curvature of the deck. From what I can tell, aftermarket hatches are for flat surfaces.
that's the best solution for sure! Congrats on your new boat!!!!!I solved it! Instead of buying the '72, I bought a 1987!
