TOPKAYAKER® Hatch Fit List for Necky Kayaks
|
Necky kayaks came with 3 different types of hatch covers.
1. Rubber covers that fit like a Tupperware, in oval, egg or round shapes. Rubber covers will show as "Rubber" or "Valley" in the list. Those under the name "Valley" are imported from Valley Canoe Products in UK. "Rubber" and "Valley" covers are not interchangeable. The Necky rubber "Rubber" hatch covers are discontinued. The link in the result will take you to the retro fit solution.
2. Round deck plates that screw in, like a jar, or have a toggle locking handle. This type will have a rim bolted or screwed to the kayak deck, with a separate cover.
3. Double cover system that has a hard outer cover, strapped in place, (not available for replacement; If you should need a hard outer cover please contact Tom) and under it, a soft neoprene inner cover that stretches tightly over the hatch opening, like a small spray skirt.
Neoprene hatch covers, the soft fabric inner covers, are numbered 1 through 14. (IMPORTANT: Numbered hatch covers from other kayak brands are not standardized and are not interchangeable.) Both the hard outer cover and the soft inner cover must be used together, and correctly closed, for the kayak to be watertight.
The neoprene hatch covers are made from stretchy rubber material, like a wet suit. The dimensions listed in the product descriptions are approximate and in some cases of the neoprene cover when it is new and "relaxed". The dimensions of the actual hatch rim (to outside edge) will be published if known. ALL Dimensions will be published as approximate due to manufacturing variations of hatch rim dimensions and the elastic nature of neoprene fabric.
Look up your kayak model by name.
The fit guide will provide links to the correct parts. If the specified hatch is not linked the product may be discontinued or not yet in stock at the TopKayaker Shop.
We have made every effort to publish accurate listings of Necky hatch covers and have made corrections to the Necky Fit List (last published in 2009).
