I believe the interior opening is around 19.5 forward and 16 3/4 salon.

What size are the forward and main saloon hatches? You have piqued my interest

My hull is #51 so it makes sense. I recently replaced my hatches. 3 with manship from mariners hardware. They do custom sizes at almost the same price as their standard sizes and the they are really nice (and expensive) especially the double opening. I replaced the forward hatch with a Bomar seabreeze (has a closed but venting feature). Wasn’t thrilled with its construction or operation so did the other 3 with Manship.
Glad you found your part.

I thank you for your help- I found the parts on Bomars(Pompanette) web site. Accordind to them,your hatches are of an older design. My hull is #68-Could even be replacements of the originals. Again,thanks

Are you talking of the deck hatches?

I’ll take a look for it this weekend. But I’m still not sure these are the same. Mine had screw knobs not handles??

It is probably a Bomar. I have one new Bomar aluminum hatch.The other 3 are original. All I need is the handle shaft.If you have it I’d much appreciate it. The shafts,are good for the right or left handle. Again,much thanks. Please send me your email address,and I’ll send you whatever you want for the parts

The ports on my F-33 and replacements and spare parts are available from fuller brush on their website under marine. (I think these are the best black resin/acrylic ports made - surprisingly… ) My original hatches were Bomar plastic/lexan and they still make them but may have changed the design. I think I still have one of the originals I removed and replaced. I can look to see what it has or send the whole hatch to you for parts if you like assuming these are what you have.

Somehow,I lost the outside portion of a hatch handle from my F33. Specifically,it is from an original hatch(? Fuller Brush?),and is the outside part,the round black button. If anyone has one to spare,I’d very much be interested in buying it. How it came adrift I cannot even guess. Thanks
