Need to replace hatch

[John Larsen]

I need to replace the hatch on a H25 but can not find anyplace that might stock a replacement. Hunter refered me to the OEM of the hatch, but that particular hatch has not been made for years.Anyone have any ideas? I've though about making a custom hatch this winter using laminated teak but I'd prefer to avoid the work.

The forward hatch?

Sorry, I missed this post... If we're talking about the forward hatch on the H25, I was able to replace my (very broken) original hatch with a Lewmar Ocean 60, flat-base hatch. It was expensive, but worth the repair to get rid of the leaks. The Ocean 60 comes in two models; The Flange-base model will not fit because of the trapezoidal shape of the cut-out. The flat-base will barely cover the opening, and does not require any modification to the cut-out to work properly... It just covers a little extra part of the deck (and you don't really notice that). If you need more info, there should be a few articles in the forums related to this hatch replacement; Also, you can E-mail me at jonbastien@yahoo.com. Good luck!--Jon BastienH25 'Adagio'
