Hatch Replacements for CD30

[Rick Schwitzer -Goodnight]

My current hatches are leaking and wife says they are ugly and dated. So.... West Marine catalog has 2 Bomar options and one option from Lewmar. Any advice??

The Bomar options are the Polycarb Nibo Low profile and the new Bomar Sea Breeze Hatch. With the Sea Breeze option,I am concerned about water eventually finding its way past the engineers' brightest design ideas. Thoughts?

The pricey Lewmar Ocean Series is my other option. Does anyone have experience with this product? Are they worth the cost? Why?

FYI my openings are 12.25 x 17.5 an 19.5 x 19.5.(inches).

Thanks,

I'd recommend you stick with the original hatches made by Bomar (not Sea Breeze). Contact Bomar directly, they are still manufactured. As you and every CD owner knows they are a very fine hatch.
