I have a 1993 H30. I got a line caught under the hatch that is above the galley and proceeded to step on the hatch...voila'...cracked plastic. I'd like to replace just the glass (plastic) but have not been able to find a supplier. Any help out there?!

Googel the hatch manufacturer, (like Lewmar).
Find the regional distributor. Call 'em; Give him the part #, and order the replacement acrilic.
I don't know about all the hatch manufacturers, but I know from personal experience that Lewmar does sell replacement acrilic :)

Bruce, is that one of the hatches that has no frame? I know that Hunter made some boats around that time that had a flat piece of lexan for the hatch and the hinges, latches, and supports were bolted directly to the lexan.. If so, small sheets can be found at hardware stores or ordered on line. It can be easily cut and shaped with normal tools. Hunter may have some but I wouldn't bet on it. I will bet Ross can give ya some hints on how to shape it without scratching the surface.. Another option might be to use the folks who cut Roger Long's window protectors. Search a few weeks back for Roger's posts on the storm covers and he has the site listed.

Thanks Kloudie. I have that type of hatch. I'll check it all out...Only 54 days to splash up here in snow country!

I did mine a couple of years ago...Hunter had them in stock and may still...call Mike, the parts guy...otherwise remove the one you need replaced and take to your local Plastics Supply house most of whom have cutting and drilling services for this and can duplicate....
