Sea Hog front hatch

#1 Post by declandaly1 »

Hi all, brand new to this site. I’m looking for advice on replacing the front opening hatch on my Sea Jeep. It won’t form a seal and looks beyond repair. Any info much appreciated.

Welcome Declan. Have you a picture of the hatch? I reckoned they had an "off the shelf" window. Is it the seal in trouble or the window?

Endeavour Boats are now building the SeaJeep so if all comes to all if the hatch is the same: https://www.endeavourboats.com/endeavour-seajeep

I can see those pictures! Something tells me that Houdini used make the hatches for Seahog. I notice on the Endeavour site the hatch is more rounded...
Maybe try Houdini. Email them your pictures. https://www.houdini-marine.co.uk/hatches
