Very scary discovery replacing our escape hatches! We may have sunk!

We decided to replace our escape hatches while in the water in a marina. Our catamaran is a 1996 fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 and was not subjected to the recall of escape hatches. Rather, our escape hatches were just very old and at the end of their life!
We purchased our escape hatches from Defender Marine.
They are Vetus Magnus deck hatches and here is the link:

Hi Barratt, it’s actually much colder. But hopefully later this week it will be warmer.

@@SaltyEscape yeah I worked all week last week when it was 60 here, now that I’m moving all my electrical components on my camper and adding a 3rd battery it’s 32 lol. I’m sure I’ll find out soon on your video but exactly how long (roughly) does it take to sail from SC to the your destination?

We have allowed 2 weeks to get to Florida. We could do it much faster off shore but it wouldn’t be comfortable. So we’re going down the waterway.

Hi Mary! Yes, we knew these needed replaced but we didn’t know how bad they were. Miss you! I hope you’re doing well. 😊

What temp did you seal the 4200 at ? It won’t set up if it’s too cold. Also please don’t use the table saw whilst your underway. That’s a lost digit or hand waiting to happen especially as DeWalt don’t have blade retraction on skin contact. You’ll be amazed at much you will rock even using a cat whilst a big boat or stray way goes by.

Hi guys, it was around 60 Fahrenheit. It’s set up. 😊

Ok. 1) If you have a leaky though hole or hard to use. YOU NEED TO FIX IT A.S.A.P! Never take a chance with it. Because that will come back and bite you in the butt every time. 2) I never had good luck with the transducers that just stick on the inside of the hull. They always give out right when you need it the most. So do the hall out. Just so you have a place of mind and that all is ok down there. Ok Thank you for this week's video. And until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!

We don’t have any leaking through hulls. We didn’t think we should make the passage to Florida with the escape hatches the way they were so we did them in the water at the marina.
