Andy plans to install two heavy-duty aluminum hatches into the large, 5-foot by 3-foot aft deck cover of a Bertram restoration to improve access to the space below.▶ 5:19 The current cover weighs 60 to 70 pounds and requires removing a future bench seat to access the area, which creates a significant obstacle for routine maintenance or emergencies.▶ 6:38 By installing two 26-inch by 18-inch hatches, he intends to provide direct access while maintaining the structural integrity of the cover.▶ 5:02
To finish the cockpit deck, he is evaluating the installation of a teak deck versus a cork deck.▶ 9:36 He estimates the teak will add 300 to 500 pounds of weight but provide superior traction and an upscale aesthetic.▶ 12:59 He is currently deciding between narrow and wide teak planking and plans to finish the hatch covers with Alexia soft sand non-skid paint to create a visual contrast.▶ 11:34 Unlike teak, which allows for on-site shaping and trimming, he notes that cork decking typically requires precise CNC-cut panels that are difficult to modify during installation.▶ 12:36
