Donzi hatch hinge
 

I'm trying to find the manfacture of the Donzi engine hatch hinges for the 99 26ZX. I've misplaced one half, & now I really need one. I've contacted Donzi, but have not gotten a return call from them. I've checked at West Marine, & Boaters World, but nothing matches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post a picture, there are tons of types of hinges. I'm sure Donzi didn't make the hinge so someone is bound to have seen it somewhere else.

I'll do that, thanks

Put a post on www.donzi.net I'm sure someone will have a direction for you to go.

Thanks, I've done that, but nothing yet. I'll post a pic & measurements later today. I've found Perko has the same design, but measurements are wrong, they call it a "pull-out", or a "take-apart" hinge.

I saw your post on the Donzi site after I posted that. They don't get nearly the traffic as Oso. If nobody answers today, send a pm to "Mr X" on that site.

Any Donzi dealer should be able to order the hinges. Donzi probably won't sell direct to the customer so you must go through a dealer.

some of the hinges used by Donzi were not of the shelf products. if its anything like the ones used on the larger boats it may have to be a custom fabbed piece. a friend of mine has a 33 zx and had to have one made.

Thanks for all the input on this, I did find that it was a custom built hinge. I took it to a machinist friend of mine, & he made me a perfect duplicate, I just have to polish it...oh boy...LOL...but he really did a good job..thanks again...

Hello, would your buddy consider making me 2 more since he already has the measurements? I have these same 3 screw take apart hinges on my cigarette Firefox and am missing both of the females that were on the top of the hatch. My number is 281-799-1414 if anyone has a connection, I have looked everywhere. Thanks, chad

8 year old thread

I was TTT :) I think purchasing them from donzi at $195 for each hinge is highway robbery. Just wanted to see if anyone has some old ones laying around.

Donzi gets them from somewhere. Try looking at Perko's catalog.

Is 8 yrs a long time?��

put up a pic of the one you need, I may have a pair. I have an older twenty something foot ZX in for a complete structural rebuild and new deck this winter and i am not using the original hatch or the hardware. I can check with the owner and see if he needs them for anything but they look very much like the ones on the 38ZX i had.
