Replacement neoprene stern hatch cover for the Sea Lion, Spectrum, and Chinook NW kayaks by Aquaterra and Perception, circa 1990s. This is the inner stretchy fabric cover that goes under the hard outer cover. Both inner neoprene cover and hard outer cover must be used to create a dependable waterproof seal. Please make sure to view the linked information on this page. PERNEO
- Hatch Rim Dimensions: approximately 20 x 15 inches
- Fits: Sea Lion, Spectrum, and Chinook NW, and the Perception Eclipse and Shadow composite hull kayaks (NOT plastic hull). See more information, below.
- Shape: oval
Additional Information
Not a fit to the plastic versions of the Eclipse and Shadow that are based on the original Sea Lion and often bear that name (kind of like a middle name). This hatch cover can be used as a substitution hatch for the stern of the Wilderness Systems composite Sealution XL, circa late 1990s. May fit other kayaks with a similar size and style hatch.
Made to the same dimensions as the Aquaterra - Perception size Medium M neoprene cover originally outfitted on these older kayaks. The Classic Medium Neoprene Hatch Covers with the heavy duty rubber rand and logo are discontinued. Other versions of the same, or slightly larger neoprene hatch cover might be marked as Large L on older kayaks circa 1980s and early 1990s. If your kayak is very old, or is the original Aquaterra Chinook (with a small round hatch on the bow) try the Perception Large Neopren Hatch Cover. Note: Cover may come marked: Sea Lion, Spectrum, Stern, Aquaterra or Perception Medium. They are ALL the SAME Medium Size. If it matters to you type name of your kayak in comments box at check-out.
