I have two of these and they both need replacing, but l can't find a makers name on them anywhere. Any ideas?
Recognise this hatch....?

We've got two of them as well. Just had a look and no names on mine either. Have you thought of replacing the perspex. It's on my list to do but a friend did it and tells me it wasn't difficult at all once he had sourced the perspex..

costs...
Yes l had thought of that but the price for all the cleaner, perspex and sealant gets very close to a new one! The base leaks as well so l've got to take the whole thing off anyway...so l'm minded to replace.

Surely, if you're going to replace them identifying the original is not necessary? All you really need is to measure the size of the hole after its out to select a replacement. I have a Canpa which could use re-glazing or replacement, but being obsolete and the company out of business, there is no way of finding the cu-out size before I remove it - turning a one-day event into perhaps a couple of weeks!

Bainbridge have just introduced a new range to fit other makes apertures. Worth a look.

@Rob: if you measure the inside dimensions of your existing hatch, they're typically within about 5mm of the cutout dimensions. Most regular hatches are withing +-5mm of each other: the corner radii are what differs.
The VETUS Magnus, Gebo Offshore and Lewmar Ocean ranges are all pretty much interchangeable cutout-wise.
