Replacement of Forward Hatch on T37
Submitted by: Tad McDonald
October 2, 2006

Notes: 

The lip upon which the standard hatch sits was cut away with a sawsall (a Fein tool wasn’t manly 
enough) then the new hatch base was ground down and the inside edges of the hatch aperture 
were routed.

Because the new hatch has radii’d corners, small corner pieces were fitted to provide additional 
bedding surface in each corner. 

The resulting opening was then glassed and gel coated followed by the final attachment with 
silicone and screws. 

One of the photos [cleverly] shows a profile view of my new hatch in the foreground and a 
standard T37 in the background (my neighbor, September Song).
