Re: 2052 hatch screen?
My 2002 WA didn't have one either so I made one with 1/4 plywood, some fiberglass screen and marine epoxy. I made a cardboard pattern by having my daughter hold a piece of cardboard up from the inside and I traced the opening with the hatch up. Cut out the pattern and checked the fit. Trimmed as necessary. Then traced onto the 1/4 plywood. I then measured 1 & 1/4 inches in from the outside and made another line. I cut on the inside line with a jigsaw and this gave me a frame that would fit into the hatch with a 1 & 1/4 inch wide area to epoxy the insect screen to.
To make gluing the screen to the frame easier I laid out a large plastic bag and the insect screen. Made sure the insect screen was straight and flat. Mixed up the epoxy and put a generous coat on one side of the frame then laid the frame onto the insect screen and let it dry. Once dry, I took a sharp utility knife and cut the insect screen flush with the frame. Applied another coat of epoxy to the whole frame. Sanded the edges as needed to ensure a snug fit and used a small SS screw and nylon pull tab so it could be easily removed.
I know this sounds like a lot of work bit it didn't take but a few hours to complete. I already had all of the materials so it didn't cost me anything but a little time. Plus I got to do a project with my daughter.
