Howard, My boards are 1/2 inch. The boards have lips on sides and bottom with no bevel.

With or without a lip on the sides and bottom? Beveled on the bottom of each piece to shed water? On Jun 22, 2009, at 9:04 AM, E. Tony Reed wrote:
Just a note to thank all of you for your suggestions on solving the hatchboards problems. I used Cetol products on all the teak but Bob recommends varnish on the hatch boards so I think using the Cetol was the root of my problem. I guess the sealer/preservative in that product mostly adds color.

I agree, the plywood isn't holding up very well. I'm thinking of replacing my mine with tinted plexiglass. To keep the weight (and cost) down I'm thinking about using 1/4" and frame it with an additional 1/4" strip to fit the slides. What I'd reallly like to do is make a pair of doors but haven't woked out the design to be weatherproof. I had plexiglass doors on my previous NorSea for 5 years and never had any problems.
Kudos to you all for the Northwest Cruise. Joe Seafrog M17

I have teak plywood hatch board that are absorbing water down the sides and coming apart. I have to replace them but I am not sure what to use. Replacing them with the same material is not a good option since mine are less than a year old. I was just wondering what others are using.
