Thanks. I did look at removing the brass sliders as a possibility, but was hoping I was just being thick in not seeing another, easier way. With all those screws having been untouched for some time, I can see multiple opportunities for this to become an epic, rather than routine maintenance. Such is life, I guess, with an old boat.

Unless your hatch is epoxied together. On the forward end are screws under plugs. Remove them and the cross piece comes off and the hatch slides off, forward. I did it that way 25 years ago, but have to do it again. This time I'll removed the slide screws as I don't want to dismantle the hatch.
have fun

Gene and Doug,
Thanks. I think, if it ever stops raining, I'll attack the sliders. I just hope I can access all the screws. A cursory look indicated that some of the slider screws remain under the hatch, inaccessible, even when I move the hatch all the way forward (open), and all the way aft. I hope I'm wrong, but...
A clarification: you said you removed screws on the forward end of the hatch, removed the cross piece, and slid the hatch off forward. I'm confused - did you slide the hatch off aft, i.e., without the forward cross piece to stop it? Not that I plan on dismantling the hatch structurally.

Aft. Your correct. Sorry, even though it was a long time ago, aft only makes sense.
