Hi everybody! We are newbies here and are looking for advice.
We recently bought a 1976
Sovereign 31' with an after market hatch cut in to the side. It is 6 x 7ft. It was one of the main reasons we bought it. We live in the Pacific Northwest and would love to open it up in the summers. We are in the process of renovating to live in full time. However, when we bought it, we didn't realize that it doesn't shut all the way. We figured that when we bought locks and weatherproofed it, we could give it a good shove and it would close completely. So...not happening. We think that we might have to unhinge it and rehang it, or fabricate a new exterior panel. We have pinched our pennies for the renovation and didn't expect this. If anyone has any advice, please send it our way! Thank you in advance!
