Companionway Hatch
Alice

My companionway hatch is somewhere on the bottom of the intracoastal. I need to replace it and can’t pay $450 for a new one. I have a Stuart Mariner. I don’t know if o’Day hatch covers fit. I’m willing to pay a fair price and shipping for a used one.

Is there a story behind a sunken companionway hatch?

Peg Henderson

Just a suggestion--- My hatch was missing when I purchased my boat. I made a snap on cover from Sunbrella. Pic attached..

David Reilly

Was thinking of doing the same for extra rain protection. Nice work.

Alice

Hi Peg. Great idea! Does it keep the rain out? We are coming into rainy season here (we hope).

Yes it keeps the water out. I added 2 battens on the top so the fabric doesn’t accumulate water

Brian Shoemaker

Peg - Which direction do your battens run? I can't quite tell from the photo.

Also: would you be willing to share the pattern for your fabric cover? I'm considering making something along those lines for my Mariner.

David Satter

I cruise on a friend's boat in the Chesapeake Bay and he put these on his boat. I think their a little expensive but their really nice. I'm not sure how they might fit on a Mariner with the winch real in the way. you just send them your measurements/pattern and they ship them to you.
