Best used as a replacement hatch rim for the Large Old Town Tempress Space hatch. Use for a broken hinge or hatch rim ONLY. This rim does not come with a gasket nor does it come with knobs or a cover. Please contact Tempress for original parts such as a gasket or knob.
For a complete replacement option see the Space Hatch Info Page.
The Old Town Space Hatch was made by Tempress Marine Products. The Large Hatch (part number 01.1315.3502, aka TMP-60001.) had two twist latches and hinges. Large hatch was 17 in. long by 12.25 in. at the widest. Large Rim-Flange has 14 holes, same dimensions as cover. The Small Hatch (part number 01.1315.3501) had only one latch. Small Hatch was 11 in. long by 8 in. at the widest. The Rim-Flange is the same dimensions as cover. No small stock available.
The Space Hatch was the replacement for the rubber egg shape hatch cover now also discontinued, found on some Necky kayaks as well as some Old Town kayaks that were outfitted with the same egg shape rubber hatch (circa 1st years of the 21st century) also large and small sizes. We are hoping that Kajak Sport or Sea-Lect (companies that copy hatch covers) will copy this rubber hatch, if they do so this would be the best possible retrofit option for the large and small Space Hatch.
Many kayaks were installed with a foam rubber gasket under the rim-flange. You may be better served by using clear silicone sealant under the rim/flange. Foam rubber gaskets will compress over time and fail. See how to at Installing A Kayak Hatch.
