Title: Need hatch info: 2003 bavaria 38.
Post by: mjt2 on January 07 2025, 22:34
Hi.  I have a 2003 Bavaria 38.  Cracked the lens in the hatch over the salon. 
I have measured amd none of the standard hatches from lewmar seem to match.  Is this a custom sized hatch?   On another post someone said their Bavaria 32 used a custom hatch size 556mm (i measured mine at 560 but i could have easily been off a tad). The part for that was 20081900. 
Does anyone know the part for the 2003 38?

I have reached out to Bavaria with no luck in email or calls.

Are you sure it's a Lewmar hatch? Some were fitted with Gebo hatches.

Lewmar will have a unique number engraved in the hatch. With this number any Lewmar supplier can support you. If it is Gebo, you also could contact them direct as they will know what they supplied to Bavaria

Maybe you can find it on this list! You can source it at SVB

Thanks for the replies so far. 
The handles on the hatch say lumar.  Further i purchased a (wrong sized) size 60 hatch and the youtube video about how to replace the lewmar lid was spot on and the hinges fit perfectly - the lid was just too big.  So, sure it is lewmar. 

I looked for the lewmar lens id and could not find it.  Went all the way around peeling back the gasket etc.  just couldn't find it. 


Still looking for an answer.  Thanks!

The Lewmar code is on the window "glass" itself, usually between the handles..

If the lens is not completely broken I will take it to a local acrylic workshop. They will make a copy for you much cheaper than the original from Lewmar.
In case that the lens is completely broken and it cannot be rebuilt I will remove the lens from the forward cabin hatch and take it to the local workshop.
