Re: Got a question for the Fountain guys
I have a 32 and I put on a lighter engine hatch. It was mad out of a material called (I think) deculite. It weighs about 1/3 rd of the original hatch. It will help.

I was also thinking of fabbing a hatch/sunpad that would be more flat/level at idle speed. I don't like the slope of the sunpad while moored, or at headway speed. I wonder if a slightly positively-angled hatch/sunpad would affect top-end performance.
Combined with lighter manifolds, a lightweight hatch COULD make a difference.

I think they are built so heavy and strong so like 5 people could stand on it and not break.......

The boat originally had the ones that Fountain installed, the black painted ones, and I didn't like them. The paint was flaking off, and they are just a rough, porus casting covered with thick paint. Not a high quaality produc .So it would have taken forever to clean up for polishing. The lathems are already polished, so was just easier to buy them. And I'm all about the shine!
