I am looking at replacing my crazed hatch lenses.
any thoughts on who can do this, for a fair price?
Does anyone know the thickness of the factory lenses on a 36 MK2?
Im in Ontario, but can ship these anywhere.
Many Thanks
Rich

I don't have the name of the company but there is one in Connecticut that I met at the Newport Boat Show a few years ago. You can probably find them if you Google hatch repair and Ct.

I replaced all of my hatch lenses and rebedded all of the opening hatches a couple of years ago. I sent the large trapezoid hatch in the v-berth to Hatchmasters, but I redid all of the others myself. Some notes and steps:
I have a few photos attached. Hope this helps.
