Hunter 376 Hatch Gaskets-Hatch Part Numbers

[jmarty32]

Hi, I have been trying to get gaskets for my hunter 376 Lewmar hatches and can't find any info on what to buy.

Lewmar has been no help and doesn't respond to email. terrible customer support.
Lewmar part numbers on owner's manual have yielded no info searching online.
Cant find any part number or info on the hatches themselves.

Can anyone help with this info? Are there aftermarket options available that might be less expensive than OE?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

The 376 section of the Hunter Owners Store site (related to this forum) have hatch gaskets and replacement parts available. The team there is knowledgeable should you have any questions.

Thanks for reply. They only have one type and the wait time is 2 to 10 weeks. Plus seems pretty expensive for a 13 by 13 gasket.

Try HatchMasters.com, they are the go to source for parts & repairs. They can also help you identify size & type of Lewmar hatch that you have.

Thanks, I checked them, and they sell what i feel is exactly what i need by the foot.

Your lewmar hatches should have a model number inscribed in the glass, that should get you to the right parts.

Did you try calling Lewmar? I've had good support from them over the phone. A lot of companies get inundated with emails so it can be hard to filter through the legitimate messages.

Thanks, i checked each of the acrylic lenses and could not find any part number. I took out a piece of the gasket and found the same one sold by the foot from Hatchmasters. Unfortunately, it's almost 9 dollars a foot. Ouch.....!!! I ordered a few different gaskets from Amazon to see if i can make any of them work.
I will reach out to Lewmar and see if they can help. Thanks
