Lewmar Hatch & Portlight — Fitting Guide

Before You Cut

  • Mounting surface must be flat to ±1 mm.
  • Replacing an older Lewmar unit: standard cut-out sizes have not changed, but corner radii have on some models. If nothing matches, build an intermediate timber frame.
  • Hatches and portlights are not stiffening members: stiffen the deck against distortion in heavy weather. Cutting holes can compromise the structure – if in doubt consult a designer or surveyor.
  • Seal exposed GRP laminate before fitting; deburr metal decks; insulate the lower frame if electrolytic corrosion with the aluminium frame is possible.
  • Hatch lids must open past 90° to fasten the frame. A fully open lid should rest supported near its handle edge, not near the hinges.
  • Fitting a Trimkit: increase the hatch cut-out by 3 mm.
  • Tools: silicone bedding compound and gun, drill and bits, jigsaw, screwdrivers/Allen keys/spanners, compass for the corner radii, felt pen, ruler.

Standard portlight cut-out templates

Lewmar Standard portlight cut-outs sheet 1, reduced view

Print the PDF pages at 1:1, join the two parts along line A–A and check every measurement before cutting – Lewmar gives the cut-outs as a guide only.

Hatch fitting

  • Removing an old hatch: bridge a timber across a frame corner (pad the deck), put a second piece under the inside frame and pull them together with a G-clamp to lift the frame; cut the bedding with a thin knife. Remove all old sealant and fill old holes.
  • Mark the cut-out (plus trim allowance), radius the corners with a compass, offer the hatch up to check.
  • Drill a jigsaw start hole on the waste side and cut; a hole cutter matching the corner radius can do the corners. Watch for cables, gas pipes and other services.
  • Test fit, mark the lower frame holes, remove and drill. Through-bolt the hinge area; self-tappers are fine for the rest of the frame.
  • Run a generous bead of bedding compound round the frame and seal both sides of each fastening hole; refit so a little compound squeezes out all round; fasten and clean up.

Portlight fitting

  • Cut out the paper template, check it against the back of the portlight, tape it on and mark the cut line.
  • Drill a start hole on the waste side and jigsaw the aperture; trim or remove headlining if needed.
  • The outer frame is clamped to the hull by the inner frame inside the boat: test fit with the clamp ring before sealing.
  • Fill any old holes, bed the frame generously, refit so compound squeezes out all round, clamp outer to inner frame with the supplied fixings (grease the threads) and clean up.

Hatch vent

  • Fits hatch lid or deck (trim not included for deck fitting); deck thickness up to 100 mm; no sealant needed.
  • Cut acrylic from both sides: tape the template clear of handles and stays, drill a pilot, cut with an 80 mm (3") hole saw from each side, drill 6 mm (1/4") fastening holes from both sides, supporting the lid.
  • Assemble with internal parts, O-rings and seal, fit and fasten from inside. For deck fitting, break through the blanked top-down holes, seal the screws and use other fixings; trim part number 361042992.
