I have a 1981 C&C 32 with, what I assume to be, the original
hatches (the small
hatches overhead the main cabin as well as the head). The
hatch overhead the head requires, unfortunately, replacement parts. The threaded portion in the
hinge has fractured ... so I need to replace the
hinge. Also, a previous owner, in an effort to seal the leakage caused by the broken
hinge, overtightened the catch and fractured the window itself.
Is it possible to locate replacement parts?
I am finding that these
hatches are closest in dimension to Size 1 portlights ... but portlights are not at all appropriate for this application.
Should I take the
hinge by a metalworker and have him attempt to replicate it ... and take the window by a glassworker and have the same done?
Any suggestions would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
