Hatch adjusters for C26

Post by NoRush »

The springs for my hatch adjusters have finally expired. Does anyone know where to get replacements, or do I need to redesign this system?

Any advice would be appreciated

Try this vender. I have ordered from them before I my only complaint is that they don't carry everything I need.

Thanks...I'll let you know how it works out.

Need to get back up to the boat to get measurements, this time of year not too much fun when it's still 100 deg at 10p. Although I am glad for the Home Depot A/C in the companion way.

Thanks again, finally got around to installing them this last weekend. My first mate is thrilled.

The size was perfect, although the attachment to the hatch was different. I ended up removing the rivet holding the spring in order to attach it to the existing hardware with a stainless bolt and nut.

It feels good to mark one repair off the list.
