3100se fwd hatch

[Trey5684]

I apparently need the large round overhead cabin hatch, the hinge pin is broken. Are there any boat salvage yards that might have items like that? I believe mine is made by a company called Jim Black.
Great Lakes Skipper seems to have a new one but of course the glass color is different from mine.
Thanks

I too am after a replacement hatch
One pin broken and one latch broken
Maybe also a bracket to hold it open???
And round fly screen
I am in Oz
Let me know if you have any luck

Mitch I was able to find a new hatch sitting on the shelf at a place called Kendor Marine in Wisc. Just happened to see it sitting there, but they only had one and no screen.
The hatches seem to be available at Kendors main store called Great Lakes Skipper in Wisc but the new hatches there have a bronze tinted glass not the frosted, it seems that when I contacted, Jim Black the manufacturer, they now only make the bronze.
Also after looking at the old hatch they use plastic pins on the hinge, it may be possible to drill out the pins and put some type of metal SS rods in there but you have to remove the hatch to gain access
Good luck

As far as hatch hinge pins went I couldn't get any in Australia so i used the plastic barrel of a sturdy pen and then sealed both ends. Worked for years and still going strong.

Great fix Foxy 01 I was lucky to find a NOS hatch that fit great, maybe I'll try and fix the old one and keep as a spare
