I recently acquired a 1983 22 Classic with an old 20” plastic hatch over the v-berth. It is missing both latching arms and the plastic window is badly faded and “crazed”. What do you recommend as a replacement? I want something durable and easy to install.
 
Bomar makes a 20" x 20" hatch which should be a direct drop in for the hatch you have. If you want you can also go up in size.

Be sure and remove any wet or delaminated core around the hach cutout. Fill this with thickened (Cabosil) Epoxy between the two deck skins of fiberglass. Then you drill new pilot holes for the screws and put some 4000, boat life life seal, or Dow 795 sealant around the hatch as you screw it down--us masking tape on the deck and edge of the hatch, so it does not have to be cleaned off after the sealant sets up. Take some photos.
 
Thanks for the detailed reply, Bob. I’ll look at Bomar.
