:: I replaced the glazed hatch glass by HATCHMASTER in
:: Connecticut.
::
:: I sent the hatch, they replaced with a new one with new
:: gasket.
:: No leaks after that. Cost a little less than $500.

:: :: :: If you have the original Lewmar hatch, you should
:: :: :: consider fixing it.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Depends on if you turn it around (so it opens facing
:: :: :: aft). The newer lewmar hatches will not open facing aft
:: :: :: (at least as far as I can tell) because they hit the
:: :: :: slight rise just in front of the hatch hole. This causes
:: :: :: them to break (cracks the frame and lexan). If anyone
:: :: :: has found a solution for this, please chime in.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: If you leave the hatch opening forward, then it will
:: :: :: stop by hitting the mast and you won't have any problem
:: :: :: replacing with a newer Lewmar hatch. The newer hatches
:: :: :: fit the hole fine, though the bolt holes are in
:: :: :: different places.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: New hatches are expensive, and a chunk of Lexan from Tap
:: :: :: Plastic is probably not that much. I don't know what it
:: :: :: would take to get the rubber seal, though...
