??Been think about the teak/glass "Skylight" on the and above the forward cabin on my boat!! Then today as I was working on the lower Flybridge skirt-- it hit me!!!!!! GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! Close it off flush-no hatch! PS anyone done this???
Greetings,
Mr. g. Why? Is it leaking? I completely removed our similar hatch, refurbished it and re-installed. NOT a terribly complicated process. GREAT for airflow forward.
I would also advise caution, to you and every other new owner, in making any major changes so soon after purchase. Your boat but think about it some more.
I don't have or know your boat, but I wouldn't consider removing my forward hatch because it provides airflow while underway and at anchor (with a breeze in the anchorage), not to mention an escape hatch from the berthing areas. My forward hatch doesn't currently leak, but it does need some work to bring it back to 'like-new' condition - like most things on my boat.
