Hatch hardware

[jmilanette]

I have an E-28+ with the original forward hatch - I think it's a Lewmar - and one of the locking handles has broken. Does anyone know where to obtain a replacement handle? Everything else on the hatch is fine and only this one piece needs replacement. I keep her in Annapolis and one would think it would be easy to find replacement parts, but that is not the case in my experience. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Try www.selectplastics.com They rebuilt my hatches and claimed that Lewmar was stopping production of parts for their older hatches so Select bought a load of stock. They may have what you need. RT

I'm assuming that you have hit all the high profile marine stores in Annapolis. Next stop is the Lewmar site for spares.

If you have tried all of these try Bacon's http://www.baconsails.com/ in Annapolis and other consignment stores for parts....... and then there is Ebay
