Some friendly neighborhood morons broke into my boat, and busted the plexiglas hatch instead of knocking the lock off. Bless their little hearts. Has anyone successfully replaced the hatch cover? It is smoked plexiglass with a slight molded curve in it. I can bend the teak supporting braces, but I'm not sure how to get the hatch itself to bend. I'd appreciate any help. Butch

Use Moma's Oven...
... when she out shopping at 250 for a while till the plexiglass get a little soft, then set it on a strip of wood down the middle and let it cool down.

Aircraft Canopy Shop
Try your local airport for information to a aircraft canopy shop. I once had custom windows made/molded out of UV Lexan they specialize in custom creations and are equipt with the right tools, vacuum gadgits and ovens. You maybe surprised on how inexpensive they are. Cheer's

Companionway Hatch
You should have a local plastic shop that can replace it for you for a minimal charge. I had mine replaced in a plastic shop in Pensacola.

uv stable lexan or polycabpnate, not plexiglass. A plastics shop will bend it for you.
