We added peek-a-boo shades to the side ports in the forward cabin and an Oceanair hatch cover with shade cover and screen in the forward cabin. This will be a nice feature on sunny mornings
when extra sleep is needed.
After I replaced the hatch liner I developed a small leak. I did not want to take any chances so I called in Glen Lysogorski. Glen used to work at the Hatteras Boat plant but has retired. Great guy, and very talented. After loosening all the screws arond the hatch, we realized there were 4 bolts holding the hatch on the hinged side. The interior liner had to be removed. Easy. Off came the hatch.
Cleaning the surface is 80% of a successful hatch rebeding. We used GM 400 as our sealant. It's important to use a product that will stay flexible. I still covered the hatch with a tarp when I left Continuum. I didn't want to take a chance on a failure. I will return next weekend.
