[Public-List] Is my hatch original?

[Jeffrey]

For those with older boats, does your hatch look like mine? Does it
come off easily?

My main hatch can come off the tracks with less effort than I'd like.
The setup may be common, I don't know, but the hatch slides on SS
rails, and the hatch holds onto the rails with 4 bronze ovals that
overlap the underside of the rails. If you push the hatch to one side
it can be lifted straight up and off. Not a good thing should we
capsize.
