Are you doing a boat deck restoration and need to replace or add the guttered floor hatches with the lid? If you are fluent with fiberglass work, my DIY Acrylic Templates might be the ticket to fabricating your own molds using MDF wood and basic shop tools such as a trim router, circular saw, and a few router bits. In this video, I will walk through all of the steps and tools required to cut your own molds.

These templates are custom-made to order in any size you like. The price depends on the size of the hatch that you need. Most standard sizes start at $85.00/kit.

Please note that these will be raw MDF molds and they will require finishing and surfacing for them to be ready to make parts. It is possible to pull parts directly from raw MDF, however for better quality parts and mold longevity its highly suggested to prep them correctly. I will be making a video series soon walking through the steps to prep the molds and laminate the parts.
