I recently purchased a 2022 C32 and we plan to use for it cruising the ICW and would like to remove the fish box and replace it with a hatch. This would give us more dry storage. The cockpit hatch on the starboard side appears to be a different size and would not fit the hole for the fish box. Can hatch be order from Fluid Motion to replace the fish box? Has anyone else replaced their fish box?
 
Bit out of my depth here as I don’t really know what the C-32 actually looks like and where that fish box is. However, Deep Blue Marine makes all kinds of storage boxes and hatches etc. They can probably manufacture something custom if need be. Check out https://www.deepbluemarine.com/products.cfm And see if anything might work.
 
Thank you for the information. I will check out the link.
 
Just for the record. I talked with Fluid Motion Customer Support today. They do not have a hatch that can replace the fish box on their Cutwater boats.
My plan is to create a snap on cover from Sunbrella canvas to prevent the fish box from filling with water everytime it rains. I plan to use the same fabric used to cover the windows and remove the cover when using the boat.
