Ericson 27 Hatch Replacement

[Nigel Barron]

I am looking at replacing the forward hatch on my Ericson 27. I am curious if anyone has outright replaced this hatch, and if so, which hatch they used? Thanks.

Have you measured the inside "cut out" size to see if any alloy hatches are close enough? A sailor in our club replaced both of the original wood-frame hatches on his E-30 with modern alloy hatches and it came out really great.
