The unique for every Lewmar hatch and they can perfectly tell you which hatch it is. Very likely it will be easiest to replace the whole hatch given the age. If your boat is on saltwater and the hatch never dismantled before you either have a nice challenging project or take the easy way out.. unfortunately not many manufacturers of these hatches are around and it is costly equipment...

Bought replacements for my B30. Just a word of caution, the Volvo original bolts were M16 fine-threaded, but the cushifloats are M16 standard thread.  Bolts are easily available, but its a pain if you start the job and only discover half way through the origins don't fit.

Found it on my drive, here you go:

I filled mine with epoxy and when I removed the teak deck I found I'd missed only two, but unfortunately don't remember where those were!

Yngmar ,back a while ago you put on the forum a map of the teak deck screw holes in your 40cc . At the time I examined my 40cc deck and found the same dodgy seams . It appears that I must have missed one or two in the foredeck. The map you posted will not now show on my laptop ,just the photo icon. If it still exists could you repost it please [my grandkids got a wet bed last year,and no it wasnt them!  Geoff

Thank you all for suggestion. I will replace the mounts with Trelleborg.

What about rear mount (the one on saildrive)? I was not able to find part number so far.
Anyone replaced the rear support? Is it possible to replace only rubber part?

I would always do it, especially given the age. You are already halfway when you are replacing the saildrive seal. Off course you can assess the quality of the mounts, especially when switching from ahead to astern (not only static test).
And yes, about costs, I am also not too keen on spending money on "original" VP spares knowing they are sourcing from elsewhere as well and rebranding it. It pays off to spend time finding the OEM instead of omitting on maintenance to save costs.
