Lets see your engine hatches!!
 

Im looking for ideas for the engine hatches im going to be building in the spring im hoping to switch from a single hatch to two side flip hatches with scopes lets see what everybody has

Are you "wanting" to build your own or would you buy some if they fit your needs? Randy

Looking to Building them for a final project In my composites class

:helmet:

Here are a few of my Donzi and one of my old Kryptonite

Tom do you have a center bar or they just fit together 1 first the the other ?

Had Two side by side aluminium ones on the Cobra...bolted em together, used it as a mold and made one big one. Much lighter, less hassle.

It is actually just one hatch.

Here are a couple pics of the one I built for my boat

I did my hatch on the budget using 7 ply marine plywood ,painting it with PPG. Single hatch though. Boat used to have superchargers before so built the hatch with scoops in case I go back to superchargers. Now just two N/A Mercs under the hatch. The scoops sure help keeping under hatch temperatures down.

Ps; What I did with the two lifting rings you see on the hatch, when I raise the hatch to maximum I can pull the pin and switch ram to the rear that allows the hatch to go straight up for maximum access to grease couplings and do other service etc.....

Are you guys still able to move around and use the hatch as a sun pad or do the scoops take up most of the space?

The hatch is strong enough to walk on but no room to spread out on like a sun pad would do.

If you plan on having pu$$Y on your boat and don't have superchargers build one with a bittcchh pad.

scoop

Here's mine. No problem walking on it. The raised center section is a bit of a PIA when just lounging around.
