Hello, I know this is an old thread, but did your old hatch have a curved 'catch' for the latch that goes in the corner of the frame? I am looking for two that are missing on my '86 E28 forward hatch. Lewmar doesn't supply them anymore. Cheers, Steve

Thank you very much for the images. My hinge is different, but the 'catch' does look similar, although mine would have been a lighter color to match the dogs. The previous owner must have removed the old broken ones and never replaced them, but had a canvas button down cover made to hold the...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I think it very well could be a Lewmar. The 'catch' is the type that goes in the corner. I'll try and get images this week. Cheers, Steve

Any E28-2 or E28+ owners out there in the Oceanside CA, Dana Point, San Diego areas etc.? It could be handy to swap info etc. We have a 1986 E28-2 in O'Side

Same here in Oceanside CA, not as bad as you Northerners though. Cleaned it one day, next day black, with sea bird splatters, just lovely!

Here's an idea I learned from someone keeping a boat on Lake Mead with a Zebra problem.... Have a small floating pool chlorinator tied near a through hull. The chlorine keep the unwanted buggers away, and the excess evaporated.
