Dear Philippe, I, too, had planned to replace my hatches. Although the hatches on my boat are not the ones typically found on the 43, I think thye are original. I have two bomar, cast aluminum hatches. In my research for new hatches, it became apparent to me that new hatches of the same quality are VERY expensive. To replace my forward deck hatch, I estimate a replacement cost over $1600 and possibly $2000. So, after doing a little more reseach, it seems likely that I can completely restore both hatches to "as new" condidtion, which includes professional powder coating, for around $300. That may be a possibility for you. Alternatively, I would look at Atkins and Hoyle; they are a small, family-owned company that makes high-quality hatches. Fair winds, Chris Mabel's Casse Tete |
