should be able to replace the perspex (certainly can with Lewmar) . contact the tech support people for the hatch manufacturer.

Are you sure it is polycarbonate? - all that I know from the reputable manufacturers are acrylic (eg Perspex) (no doubt someone will point out an exception though). I believe that polycarbonate is generally regarded as too easily scratched and not rigid enough.

Acrylic is easily replaced, either as a spare from the hatch manufacturer or from a specialist acrylic supplier.

Hi, I'm sure there was a step by step guide to doing this in either PBO or YM not that long ago. You could search the magazine index on this site and get a copy.

I don't know if this helps regards grimmy
