<< cond Lee's message. My boat had a similar, about 18 x 22 Bomar hatch
 installed when it was re-engined with a diesel and I would not be without 
it. Mine,
 too, "gives" a little when you step on it, but it has been on the boat more 
than 10
 years and no one has gone through it, nor has it seemed to weaken the boat 
any.

Hi Gordon,
If I remember correctly, the cockpit hatch on your boat is one of the smoked 
glass bomars, that would otherwise serve as a real hatch for the forcabin 
etc, right?  The Bomar I installed is sold as an access panel, and is made of 
white plastic, opaque, and has a plastic frame that mounts to the boat, not 
an aluminum frame. Do I remember correctly?  If so, the hatch you have is 
indeed stronger than this access panel, and so your hatch would not require 
extra protection, as it is designed to be walked on
.
