Companionway boards (leaks)--dodger

[Windtherapy]

So how many O'Day owners have replaced their companionway boards and do you have stiles and rails on them? Also, does your boat have the horizontal slat board on the aft edge of the sliding hatch that fits over the companionway boards when closed?

Also, if any of you have a dodger, where did you get it?

Do you have a photo of yours? I have been thinking about add the slat to my hatch.
My boards are original and I am unsure if I will just refinish or replace with an upgrade.

A picture of the horizontal slat board on the aft edge of the sliding hatch. I like the looks of that piece of trim and have been thinking about adding it to my hatch when I refinish the hatch boards.
Or maybe you are looking to see others have added it, which means you are thinking about the same thing as I am.

Yup, I was looking for pictures of others for I will be doing this before launch next spring. They look nice and one could install it and adjust it to sit over the hatch boards when closed to eliminate water leak issues.
