BONA FORTUNA ON YOU HUNTER 27' YOUR PORT HOLES ARE GRAY IN TAMPA BAY AREA AND SO ARE YOUR HATCHES, BUT YOU MUST GO THROUGH A DEALER SUCH AS JOHNSON SAILS KNOWN AS J.S.I. ON GANDY ROAD ST. PETE. TO PURHASE THEM, YOU CAN BUY THE WHOLE PORT OR DETAILS NEEDED, i HAVE PURCHASED BOTH FROM THEM, INCLUDING HARDWARE, THE HATCHES ARE OBSOLETE, AND YOU CAN BUY A LEMAR OR A BOMAR HATCH 21'X21' THAT WILL FIT, OR YOU CAN REPAIR THEM: IF THE SLOTS ON THE EARS THAT LOCK DOWN THE HATCH, GET SOME 3/16" THK X 5" SQUARE ALUM. PLATE DRAW A DIAGONAL LINE FROM TWO CORNERS, EACH IN BOTH DIRECTIONS TO FORM AN "X" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE THEN MEASURE 3/4" FROM CENTER ALONG 2 LINES OPPOSITE EACH OTHER DRILL A 3/8" HOLE IN THESE TWO PTS, AND WITH A ROUND FILE REMOVE THE MAT'L BETWEEN THE 2 HOLES TO FORM A SLOT, SAW THE PLATE IN HALF, ALONG THE DIAGONAL LINE PEREPENDICULAR TO THE SLOT, NOW YOU HAVE 2 EARS, ADD A 3" RADIUS, TO THE ADJASENT CORNER AND DRILL 3 HOLES #8 OR #10 TO MOUNT THE EARS TO THE BROKEN EARS, IF YOUR LEXAN IF YOUR LEXAN IS LEAKING OR CRACKED, RATHER THAN REPLACING IT BEING IT'S SO THIN, I ALWAYS THOUGHT I'D PUT MY FOOT THROUGH IT ONE DAY, i BOUGHT SOME 1/2" THK SMOKED PLEXI, CUT IT TO COVER THE ENTIRE HATCH FRAME, BOLTED ON WITH 4 #10'S THROUGH THE FROME, THEN FROM THE INSIDE USING A #8 MINOR DIA.
