I've sanded all my exterior wood and have stained with teak oil. This picture shows that my hatch woodwork has yet to be stained and got splashed - we were sanding and the wind picked up, so what's a boy to do...he goes sailing and leaves the woodwork for another day.

ummm, where was I. Oh yes, my hatch-slider woodwork is ugly and I hate that nasty cheapo lock and I despise that piece of canvas that hangs down below it to cover the gap between it and the top crib board.
So, the question is: How do I fix up the slider woodwork - does it need to be replaced, what kind of lock do you have, where is your lock. Also, I will probably put high quality rubber door seal (weather stipping) along the bottom edge of the slider wood and if that doesn't work nicely, I'll buy new crib boards.
I looked through Catalina Direct but did not see a replacement for the slider woodwork - not sure what the actual name for it is.

I have switched to a combination lock for my boat. Ever since I had to go to the marina office and borrow the bolt cutters when I locked my keys inside....

Mike,

Looks like you have hooked onto yet another possible area for tweaking - The lock and gap issue with the companionway boards. I have really not paid too much attention to this area. I just use a plain brass key lock. MY boards do not have a flap of sorts but the slit/opening is at an angle so it prevents most water entry, if not all.

From what I can see of the top of your boards, it seems a bit different than mine. I do not have what appears to be a wood handle (in your photo). What I usually do to bring the hatch in-line with the companionway boards is to slip the lock ubolt into the hatch lock ring and pull the hatch closed. Then I take the ubolt off the lock ring, close the metal latch over the lock ring and then secure it with the lock.

I added the handle to my 89, use a brass combo lock, am OK with the Perko hasp, and advise friends with hatch gaps to look at the foam weather strip sold for garage door bottoms.
