The forward hatch on my 2004 245cr has had the dogs fall off. What was the original model for that hatch? What would be a direct replaceable for it?

I have a 2007 Monterey 194FS. The front rope/anchor locker hatch needs to be replaced. I'd like to do it myself. Any thoughts where I can find an OEM locker hatch?

I have a 2000 322 crusier. Someone cracked the hatch lens over the front birth. Is there anyway to replace just the lens? And where would I find one? Chris

Hi all, Let’s just say someone stepped on the round hatch (sounds so much better when it’s open ended right?) and its now cracked. After seeing the prices folks want for a replacement one e.g. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=11151&productId=26978&langId=-1 ( +- $500) (btw, I realized these hatches sold does not include a boat (sarcasm!)… So, I better do a DYI job.) I found some reasonably priced grey smoked Acrylic Plexiglas www.estreetplastics.com/Grey_Smoke_Plexiglass_2064_s/80.htm. However, all the items I find come in sheets (not cut in circles). The diameter needs to be 19 and 7/8 inch (and I’m thinking to use 3/8 inch thickness). I was wondering how easy it is to cut. Has anyone attempted doing this? Also, would 3/8 inch be a good thinkness, maybe 1/2 inch? Lastly, has anyone found a web site that sells these sheets cut in circles? (Or does anyone know where you can find the original Bomar Plexisheets replacements (the typical opaque white sheets)? I also considered Polycarbonate (i.e. Lexan), however it seems to be way more expensive, but not as durable (apparently susceptible to scratches). Has anyone done these types of replacements? Kind regards, Heinrich

1998 Montura 236 Cuddy the plexi glass on the Bomar hatch is cracked and I need to replace it. Can I just replace the plastic part? If so, What size/specs? Also mine has a small solar powered fan mounted on the hatch. Not sure if this is aftermarket. Thanks!
