PROJECT VIDEO: Cutting Holes in Boats
Hello Friends,
This is the first part in a series of videos showing you how I replaced our original forward hatch with a Lewmar Ocean Series 65 hatch.
Our original forward hatch was very bad at keeping the sea out and the frame had rotted to the point of no longer supporting the hinges so it was time to deal with this problem. I decided to replace the hatch with a serious ocean going hatch that I new I could trust when we are doing ocean passages and large seas tear across the deck. There was really only one choice for me, a Lewmar Ocean Series 65.
I went with the trapezoid shape to keep the same look as the original and I picked mine up on eBay for 95 dollars. The lens has crazing but me and Camille were not concerned with this and it can easily be replaced later on.
On this episode I mark the position of the new base and cut out the hole for the new slightly larger hatch.
