I had the deck hatch on my Formula 353 fly open in tow. The support arm and one hinge were broken. Does anyone know if I can get these parts somewhere? I hope I don't have to buy a new hatch because my current hatch is painted.

I had to buy a new hatch for the same reson, looked everywhere could not find parts, I know that not what you wanted to here. new hatches are not cheap.

I was afraid of that. The biggest problem will be getting the hatch painted to match the deck. I don't know why boat builders have the hatches facing forward!

pompanette (sp?) has what you need. Parent company of Bomar.

thanks, I'll Google them.

Contact your local West Marine, they are a dealer, they got me new Factory Port lite windows and latching hardware for my 83 Scarab !...have the cad for all Bomar stuff

So that when your at anchor, and the bow is in the wind, the hatch will act as a scoop, pulling fresh air inside. I had one pop open on my Scarab at speed. Luckily it did not bust it. They are hard to find parts for.
