New Lazarette Covers

I looked all over this site for any info on Lazarette tops for an 87 CD I noticed
One brat with an 87 Angler had them but he hasn’t been here since 2010. Any one know the make/model that fits? The ones I have researched so far will require a little cutting/grinding which I’m not opposed to doing but would rather not!
Cheers

Any of these left in someone's storage. We'd love a set for our '06 Cape Cruiser. They can be special ordered from Fisheries Supply or IMTRA for $100 each.
thanks,
Sota

Last year I got a pair of the Imtra 900037 from Defender. They are $70 each and worked fantastic on my 2006 22.

I recently ordered one for my boat. Can't remember from where, but it was ~$90 including tax and shipping. You want "Dream White" color for the best match of color.

Geneh,
Take a look at my photos of the changes that I did to install the new hatches that you are ordering. Had to install wood shims and all exposed balsa core was coated in epoxy. Hatches were sealed using white butyl rubber tape. Been in service 2 years and still zero leaks!

Thanks, Steve. These are VERY helpful. Clearly not plug-and-play, but also short of rocket science. I pulled the old hatches today and got the measurements right. Onward.

We have decided the spring upgrade to our 22 Cruiser will be replacing the rear lazarette hatch covers. There has been plenty of discussion on this topic.

North West Industries, the current C- Dory manufacture, recommended the So-Pac Access Hatch through Fisheries Supply. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/imtra-so-pac-access-hatch-white/spa-40105.

These hatches come in two sizes … small @ 11.5 x 7.5” and a medium @ 12.3 x 9.5.” Has anyone used the larger size? The larger size would make battery installation, fuel filter changing etc. a bit easier. However, I am a bit concerned about cutting away more material. I am away from our boat now. If I recall the old hatch size is 11” x 8.5”?

I see a post from 2022 noting a So-Pac Medium from Defender.
Imtra So-Pac 4000 Series Rectangular Access Hatch - SPA-40155 | Defender
Imtra So-Pac 4000 Series Rectangular Access Hatch - SPA-40155
• Size: Medium
• Cutout dimensions: 10" X 12-3/4"
• Overall dimensions: 13-1/8" x 15-1/2"
• Opening dimensions: 9-1/2" X 12-1/4"

Any words of wisdom regarding best size for a 22 (small vs medium) etc. would be appreciated. Once back at the coast I will check measurements and things like cleat location. I think I have a handle on installation techniques thanks to C-Brats.

Thanks…PvL

I replaced the original hatches with the Imtra 4000 medium hatch. This fit into the original opening just fine. My boat is an '08 22 cruiser.

I did install the larger (medium Imtra spa40155) size and it's been working good for me. I can upload a picture later.

That's the best pictures I have now

Thanks for the info, everyone. Looks like the mediums have worked for others.

Thumbs Up

After these long years, I finally decided to replace our Lazarette hatches, so I ordered two of the Imtra 40155 mediums. What did you folks use as a sealant when installing the new ones?
Thanks.
