Hatch Lens Replacement

[Frank H]

My 310 is a year 2000. This has probably been discussed before on this forum but I need to replace both of my my hatch lens and the gaskets. Has any one replaced theirs? I don't want to send the hatch to Hatch Masters if I don't have to. Does any one know if our hatches are Lewmar? The first thing I need to know if I want to do it myself is if the lens is a low profile MK2 hatch. The second thing, is the replacement difficult to do if the hatch is a Lewmar MK2 Low Profile hatch and I buy a Hatch Masters replacement kit? Also, anyone know if there is a U-Tube video on a Hatch Masters lens replacement?
Sorry for lengthy post.

They are almost certainly Lewmar, my 320 uses size 44, this page shows differences between MK1 and MK2.

The replacement videos are also on the Lewmar website. Lewmar Video | Lewmar
The replacement parts are also available here on the sailboatowners site.

My 310 is a year 2000.

Could be MK1 or MK2, did you look at Calif Ted's post above to determine this?

Thanks Dave and Ted. I watched the Hatch Masters videos and now have to go to boat to verify my hatches are MK2. Looks like if they are MK2 then replacement is pretty easy.

Dave My 310 is a 2000 #17. Is your kit acrylic and same parts as if I order from Hatch Masters?

Dave, there may be a bit of confusion here. This is a Catalina 310, I don’t think there are MK1and MK2 versions. But I agree they are Lexmark hatches.
cheers

Lexmark? Darn auto correct.
