Post subject:  Replacing the round bow deck hatch hinge?
Has anyone broken the round deck hatches locate in the bow of the boat?

A new hatch is like $600. I think I have the 22" round. My problem is the plastic hinge. It seems like it is pressed/glued to the actual round hatch window that you open.

I'm optimistic that if I got a new hinge, I could glue it to the hatch.

Thoughts?

Here is a good website for spares: http://www.hatchmasters.com/index.php?c ... 2cae1f8d58

My hatches are still good but I broke these little tabs so if you do end up buying a new hinge kit, I will buy the old ones from you. Good luck.

Hey Family Knot,
I have the exact same boat as you do (FW '00 Vista 298)
and the exact same problem with both of my upper deck bow hatches (round)
I think maybe the previous owner must have stepped on them or something,
the locks work, but I don't open them because of the hinge doesn't hold them in place.
If you figure out how to replace those hinges please let me know.

Thanks

Collin - Funtastik, Vista '00 298
