International 22" Forward Deck Hatch Replacement

Post by RWS »

My 35 year old hatches need more than the simple lens replacement, available through Beacon Marine.

I've seen photos of Internationals sporting non-factory hatches.

Can anyone please advise as to which hatch they used, Lewmar, Bomar, Vetus, etc and which specific size?

Any issues? Any additional cutting to fit?

This is one modification I am not excited about.

We contacted Bomar (now owned by Pomapanette) and gave them our serial number from the hatch and they told us the original hatch on our 12 meter is a N2039-103. They do not sell that specific hatch anymore, but have replacements that fit the hole.

THANK YOU !

my own current research indicates that the BOMAR low profile hatch will fit with minimal fiberglass cutting, if any.

I do prefer the quality of the LEWMAR Ocean series or their mid profile, but it has come down to a fitment issue.

Any significant width increase puts me well into the built in A/C duct system, don't want to go there.
