    Lewmar Superhatches - Free

    I replaced the original hatches on my 1984 35-3, so the old ones are available to a good home free of charge. I think they are Lewmar superhatchs size 60. They need the lenses and a few pieces replaced including the backing nuts for the hinge. One of the more stressful parts of replacing the...

    E32-200 Window rebedding, glass replacement?

    After a successful morning of electronics-wrangling, I felt emboldened to take on the task of re-bedding a portlight fixed window. I believe that my windows are original to my boat, and in an ideal world I would like to replace all of the ‘glass’ that has become crazed with superficial cracks...

    Re-bedding a Lewmar hatch

    Orienting a 2 speed winch for Load Direction

    I am puzzled by how to best interpret the Lewmar install instructions for my old set(s) of 46 primaries and 43 secondaries. (They are being reinstalled with new angled risers to cure the occasional override due their being too low on the side deck.) A copy of the original Lewmar manual page...

    Leaking Lewmar Hatch

    After replacing the "O" rings on the hatch 'dogs' the smaller (13 x 17 inch) forward hatch is still leaking. The leak seems to be coming around the gasket between the metal frame and the (intaact/non-cracked) gasket. Is it possible to [I]carefully[I] remove the gasket from the acrylic lens...

    Lewmar Leaking

    The dogs on my hatches seem to have developed a slight leak and are on the spring list of projects. Is there anything special about opening the handle and fabricating new gasket material?

    Lewmar "Old standard" Portlights

    Does anyone have any instructions from Lewmar regarding installation of the "Old standard" portlights, found in my 1990 Ericson 28? I have one non-opening portlight with a leak that shows up through 2 screws, it may be the horizontal external seam that needs re-sealing. How to re-seal it and...

    Leaking Lewmar hatch on E28+

    After sailing in some classic Lake Michigan chop and 20 knots of wind this past weekend I discovered that the forward hatch on my 1983 E28+ is leaking when there's green water on deck. Looking closely I can see that the rubber seal no longer contacts the hatch frame even when it's dogged down...

    Lewmar port handle question

    Hi, A couple of my lewmar opening ports are leaking around one of the handles. Lewmar recommends taking the handle apart and lubicating it with slicone grease. Does some one know how to remove the button (See picture) that will allow me to remove the handle? Thanks, Bob

    Lewmar ST Winch trivia

    Our boat has early Lewmar self tailing winches (1988) and I am re-lubing them now. The manual indicates that the center shaft should be removed by pulling it straight up and out for cleaning and re-greasing. That shaft can rise, on ours, only until the gear teeth come in contact with the...

    Does anyone know of a supplier for Lewmar hatch parts? I went to the Lewmar website and I have the part numbers. Apparently my 1983 E38 has Lewmar 'Superhatches'. I need at least one corner block (the thingy that holds the hatch down when you turn the handle. I spoke with two of Lewmar's...

    Problems at Lewmar?

    I was talking to a rigging company today and asked about a Lewmar product. They said they were having problems getting Lewmar hardware. I asked if they were going out of business and he said something like, "That's what everyone in the industry is waiting to see." I searched on the web and...

    Lewmar replacement acrylic - 1988

    Hi, I'm working with a local auto glass company that also replaces hatch lenses (not sure of the proper terminology). Our boat has Lewmar hatches, 1988 vintage. He has tried to sell me on Lexan, but my research has told me that Acrylic is the only way to go and it looks like some of the...

    28'er, Lewmar aft fixed portlight

    Okay, this very much puzzles me. I bought Nereus last fall and am fixing her up. I ordered 4 new Lewmar portlights (2 each 4L & 4R) since the current ones leaked like a sieve and looked hopeless to rebuild. I popped in the p/s foreward ones today. The cutout openings for the rear ones are...

    1986 E-32 Lewmar Hatch Replacement

    Hi All, I'm going to replace my top-side hatches this winter. From reading through other posts, I believe my main cabin old Lewmar Super Hatch is the new Lewmar Ocean 60 Flat. I couldn't find any posts about the smaller forward hatch in the V-berth. I think it is the Lewmar Ocean 20 flat...

    I replaced the Lewmar Superhatch on my 1987 E-34 this week and have the old hatch available if anyone is interested. It is the Size 60, approximately 22" square with a flat base, no flange. The hinges need to have the rubber parts replaced for it to stay up reliably, the lens is crazed and...

    Lewmar deck hatches

    I have decided to replace the forward Lewmar deck hatch on my 1987 E-34. It looks like a #60 hatch, 20 x 20", and the question comes up as to the low profile or the medium profile series. Does anyone have any comments as to which series to buy? The difference at Defender is less than $40...

    Lewmar Blocks

    I recently came upon information that may be old news to some, but was unknown to me. My '88 E34 came equipped with Lewmar Ocean 2 series blocks. Over the years, as I added halyards and other lines I needed to add blocks, which turned out not to be Lewmar because they where given to me by...

    Lewmar 4R Portlight Drawing

    I've noticed that there have been several discussions regarding the dimensions of the Lewmar 4R and 4L portlights and whether or not they will fit the openings in our boats. I can't (yet) answer the second part, but I have downloaded Lewmar's drawing of the 4R portlight, dimensioned it in...

    New Lewmar Portlight Doesn't Match!

    One of the four slanted Lewmar portlights on my E-38 (the fixed deadlights, size 4R) had become so crazed from sunlight that I felt the need to replace it this fall. I don't know why only one crazed so badly, but at $350 each, I'm glad it wasn't all four. Anyway, I just received the hatch on...
