I just purchased a Catalina Capri 14.2 but have not picked it up yet. There is no cover over the hatch. It just has snaps where I guess you could have canvas cover made for it. However I would like something more water tight than that. A new hatch cover through Catalina is around $120.00. I found a Bomar Style Hatch, size 10 x 20 inches for sale on-line way cheaper. It looks like it is made of plastic and/or fiberglass. The hinge opening appears to be a more secure opening system than the Catalina made version. I was wondering if anyone would know if I could use this Bomar Style hatch cover instead. I've never heard of Bomar. It looks like it shows pre-drilled holes for around the opening which I'm wondering could be used and the previous snaps on boat removed? Any one out there have any suggestions and advise? I'm new to this boat but have sailing experience on other boats. Thanks to anyone who can help me out! Cindy
