Hatch shades

[bobm]

My '99 SO 45.2 is missing the hatch shades in the forward cabin. I've found Dometic/Oceanaire shades online in a style that (nearly) matches the rest of the shades on the rest of the hatches, but not the right size.  The cutout in the overhead for the roller mechanism is 20.5" wide and the distance to the pegs on the opposite side is 18.5".  The hatch openings are 16.5" by 16.5".  The HSH2-30 model at www.ahoycaptain.com/oceanair_hsh.html would work, except that the Y dimension is about 3" too short.  Anybody replaced hatch shades?  Where did you find parts?

Thanks!

Hello bobm,

I’m not sure if this helps but this thread discusses the subject of hatch blinds.

We recently bought a 2017 SO419, and the forward cabin hatch shade was damaged. I went to the Jeanneau spare parts site and emailed them to get the part number, because the site doesn't have these parts listed. After I sent him pictures of the hatch he sent me the number, which I then ordered from a dealer. Here's the email of the person I was dealing with:

Good luck, hope this helps.

This helps a lot, thanks.  I ordered a pair of shades from Mechanic's Surplus, listed on this page: www.google.com/search?q=oceanaire+cabinshade&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS926US926&oq=oceanaire+cabinshade&aqs=chrome..69i57.7473j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The dimensions aren't exactly what I measured but close enough (I hope!) - within a few mm.
