I look forward to following this thread - our cast Bomar hatches need lenses and we were going to replace due to the condition of the frames, which need to be refinished. Of course, ours are standard sizes so the cost of replacement is around $500 per hatch.
Well the hatch came apart without breaking anything which is good
After taking to the factory they powder coat this model as anodizing was hit and miss on the cast hatch's SO white powered coat is looking like the way to go
Great
I repalced mine a few years back with new but cheap one I found at the WEST Marine surplus store in Oakland. I had to make a SS adaptor plate however. One thing I found was that going that way I had to do a lot of fiberglass build-up between the headliner and the deck so that the hatch would have something solid to mount on. Your solution looks like it may avoid that.
It's great to see Cal 29 info on the site... seems we don't get no respect in most sailing forums.
As people get crazy about the lexan VS cast acrylic i go with the people who built it
I got a piece from Mcmaster 85805K54 and had the local waterjet place cut it as i have a huge amount of other work done they throw me a bone on my boat parts
Its staying like this as the 1970 boats were done RAW
