understand hatches are being fitted with gemlux friction hinges now. Can a straight replacement be made on older boat models? What model works on rod lockers? Thx
I replaced all of mine - awesome upgrade. I took measurements and spent time on the site. Called and they were able to give me exact size replacements (size wise & foot print) for what was on my boat. To do them right they will need to be bedded. I did not the first time around and you get some rust if you don't. Good Luck!!!!

Sounds like a lot of work with a strong chance of screwing something up. I’ll leave as they are. I’ve broken a couple of hatch wires and it’s difficult to find replacements. Thx

If you have a Florida built boat you rod locker hatches are a lot bigger than the Carolina boats. It's a pain to get them installed. Also the hinges that were used on the Florida boats were discontinued.
