Hi Matt

They do come in a version openable from the outside, scroll down and look at "double opening".

Getting a hatch rim off the deck is no biggie, unless someone used 5200 putting it on.  With the butyl tape that was used on C&Cs it is pretty easy - remove all screws, and start at a corner where you can get some prying action on it, see if you can lift it at all, get a putty knife in.  Work your way up from there.  Might take an hour but no heroic measures are needed.

I was liking the idea of Lewmar.

And I think the low profiles look great but I don’t see access from top side which the fore-deck guys likes to have to get spinnakers in and out easily without having to go below.

When you say easy drop in on Lewmars, I assume I would need to rip out and replace the frame that attaches to the deck. I was thinking of trying to just change out the hatch first. A friend told me of his troubles trying to get the frame off the deck. If it’s a direct replacement the hinges would match? I don’t think I can do that with a Lewmar based on the diagrams I saw. My issue is the hatch itself, I suspect no water is coming in from the bottom frame.

I have a couple of emails into Atkins and Hoyle though I have not heard back yet. I’ll keep on them.

Again thanks to all. The collective wisdom is amazing.

I replaced all the hatches on the boat with Lewmars. Saloon hatch and forward hatch were drop-in replacements, the head hatch took a bit of glass work but works fine.

    Our 77 C&C27-3 had an Aitkens&Hoyle hatch, much better than the
    Bomar hatches on our 85 33-ll, which have been replaced with
    Lewmar Ocean series hatches. The angle of the forward hatch made
    the low profile hatches impractical, and the raised Fiberglas
    either side made them unattractive.

    I’d rate the A&H and Lewmar Ocean series comparable .

    That is a handsome looking hatch.

    How do you compare the overall quality compared to Atkins & Hoyle
    or Lewmar?

    Hi Matthew

    Atkins & Hoyle make the direct replacement, but there is an
    alternative - I put on a low profile stainless hatch from these
    guys. http://www.manshipmarine.com/low-profile-deck-hatch.html

    I'll look to see if I have any pics.

        Hello CnC list,

        I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what kind and where I can find a 
replacement for my forward hatch on a 1983 C&C 35 mkIII.

        I am hoping I can just get a new hatch and use the existing frame, 
though I assume it comes with a new frame as well just in case.

        I measured the outer dimensions of the flanges on the frame at 20 7/8” 
square, the outer dimensions of the hatch at ~21 13/16 square, and the inner 
distance between the hinges on the hatch at 14 1/16”.

        I thought this would use a Lewmar replacement but the dimensions don’t 
seem to match.

        Thanks in advance.

        This list is great, I wish I had more time to read it.
