[C38] Hatches

[Steve Smolinske]

Max, 

 

Here are the photos of the forward hatch modifications.  What we did was
weld a cross support to keep the lens from flexing when stepped on by
the foredeck crew.  I also had a skirt added around the lid that extends
to deck level so that we no longer catch sheets under the lid when
tacking.    The aluminum did not weld up that great as the impurities in
the casting caused bubbles and voids that are visible, but I wasn't
overly concerned as long as it worked.  And The powder coater also had a
problem with the hatches outgassing and leaving a gritty type of look,
All in all im happy with them, especially since two problems have been
solved.
