Bow Hatch

Bow Hatch
  • I need a new plexiglass bow hatch from my 1978 pacemaker 26'... it cracked in half, any idea how to find one, or is anyone selling one??

  • Are you sure it is the original hatch? The reason I ask is all of the ones I have seen are a solid fiberglass. That said I don't know about the "newer" boats. Mine is a '67. Can a glass shop repair it would be the next question.

  • i'm not sure it is the original, as far as i know i think it is... if anyone has info on someone selling one please let me know!!

  • The hatches for the boats were all solid plexi-glass, there is a guys at my marina that worked for Pacemaker and Egg Harbor as a finisher (he has been a wealth of knowledge), the windscreens and hatch were made by heating the plexi-glass to around 350 degrees in an oven and forming them over plywood forms. Mine is original and in great shape, I hit it with wax a couple of times of year and get really upset when people sit on it. My hatch is 17 X 21.

    Post the size, I know a couple of guys that salvage boats
