Sailboat Manship Hatch Install-Start to Finish!
In this video we install a brand new MANSHIP deck hatch! Like every boat project however, there is only tiny snag. The old hatch has a slightly smaller footprint than our new one! This may not seem like a big deal on the surface...but once we got into the meat of the project it became clear quickly that some modifications needed to be done to our boat, and we needed to make a trim ring to accommodate the new hatch! This was not fault of the hatch, and to be fair...the measurements on each are equal...what was not done well on our boat was how the original manufactured hatch was installed. It was screwed in, and done with very little care to water intrusion in the future. So...we fixed it. All of it. Yep, the 2 day job turned into 6....but in the end we have a gorgeous result and a hatch that will not leak...but better yet? Will be MUCH easier to remove and maintain in the future!
