Steve,
?
Mine has screws along the back of the seat hinge, rivets on
the hatch side, no problem to get it off.? I did pick up a six inch long
bit for my cordless drill.? I used West System Epoxy with milled fibers to
bond the teak to the hatch.? Getting the old plywood off was the hard
part.? I used a chisel and mallet then a 80 grit flap disk on my angle
grinder to get it down to the fiberglass.? Be careful it is really thin on
the front face.? I put the epoxy on heavy and let it squeeze out with the
clamps, messy but effective.? The teak pieces were 40 inches long by 4
inches wide and 1/2 thick.

Mark,
Thanks for the picture.
How did you get your doors
off? Did you drill out all of those hinge fasteners?
Also curious what
you used to attach the teak to the fiberglass.
This project has been on
the list for a while...I've really gotten tired of getting a slimy handful of
rotten plywood every time I open the lazarette.
