We are wanting to replace our old (75) leaking hatch. Anyone have any suggestions? In the catalog I am having trouble finding a size to match.

Upgrade from Cruising Concepts
Hi Bonsai - You know the old adage, "if you have to replace, you might as well upgrade!"? Although not cheap, a great upgrade is to replace your forward hatch with lexan, as provided by Cruising Concepts. See Related link below. Best, Trevor

you gots the old boat
The hatches mentioned in the earlier replies are for post '85 boats. The one in the Catalina Direct catalog is for a post '85 boat. I do not think you can get a forward hatch for a pre '85 boat. Nevertheless, why is the hatch leaking? Is it just the rubber seal worn out that may be replaced by Catalina Direct? Or do you need to install some good dog latches to hold the cover closed. You may wish to view my method for closing the forward hatch which can be seen at: http://tinyurl.com/6bay3
