Bomar style hatch

Does anyone here know if it is possible to replace the glass in the hatches. Have one that is cracked and once in a while will leak a little at the crack. I haven't been able to find an exact replacement for it. Also in the process od removing the other two to clean up,re paint and re seal to deck.

If they're like my hatches, I have 3 of them, complete, as spares.
But I'm thinking you have the different ones. Not the hatches with the glass screwed down around the perimeters, on top off the frames...

My perimeter screws down and the glass top seperates from the perimeter with 4 screws. I have one hatch in my truck will try to get pics and post them tommorow. They are 20 x 20.

I am not familiar with that style as I am a pre 1980 guy. Are those OE or replacement? How about a new 20x20 unit?

Just a thought. They are a bit spendy. Then again so are repairs from water intrusion. Catch 22 I suppose.

Copy and paste that link to make it work.

Then click on size 20X20.

Here's the company product line of hatches. Maybe give them a call and see if they'll replace or service the hatch...

Hey Allen, I just got 4 new hatches from great lakes skipper made by Jim Black inc. they're real nice looking and look like the older 80's style Bomar/Gray's that alot boat co's used then... but have up dated handles and stuff and the centers are real tempered glass not plastic

and you can't beat the price...

Tony, those hatches look great but unfortunately won't work in my application.

They have a 1.5"drop internally and mine have to be a flush mount. I did locate a company in Ft. Lauderdale that makes replacement lenses for the hatch. $70 for the replacement and free shipping lower 48. I may do all three hatches at that price and be scratch free!

Thanks for the tip thats how I finally located them. Going to call them monday since I am out of work 'recovering'.
