Default Needed hatch cover

Hi all,
Just found this community! Also just bought a '78 V20. I put a 93 130hp Yamaha on her, and it is just about ready for the water. Can't wait! Waiting on a fathometer,so I can install the ducer before dumping her!
What I am looking for is, the hatch cover that is in the slop well. Mine was missing when I bought the boat. I have looked at a couple of different year V20's, and they didn't have a hatch back there. Instead, they had doors, if you will, in the front of the slop well. If anyone knows where I can get this cover, please let me know. I can see that the plywood piece that is there now wil not do.
Thanks, in advance, Rod

Welcome, it will probably be hard to find an exact fit but I'd look on ebay and also www.fpmarine.com to name a couple.

Rod, first welcome aboard! As far as the hatch cover in a '78 there were a lot made out of teak. You might want to just make your own out, it really is not oo big of a job if you have some basic wood working skills. If not perhaps a friend can help you out.

Default Teak wood cleaning

I found a guy at my marina who showed me a new trick to redoing TEAK WOOD !! we started with a 75% clear BLEACH 25% water and a good (PLASTIC) scrub brush . we wet the wood then sprayed on the bleach soultion let it sit 5 min. then scrubed it all . WALLA down to bare wood !! we sanded it down , let it dry , then re-aplayed 4 layers of oil , and wow looks like a new boat , who says an old dog cant do new tricks

Blue's right...finding a factory replacement might take time if you ever find one at all...look for an after market lid and cut away the existing opening to fit...you'll be in the water quicker...

Cheap and easy way I've done before is to use a decent piece of plywood, sand it good, stain it and put on some varnish. Not show boat quality, but looks a lot better than nothing and will serve it's purpose til you can find the right one.
