Replacement hinges for locker covers - 1978 CD25

Post by Dasein »

Happy New Year!

I'm in search of replacements for the 3" length x 2 1/4" open marine grade stainless hinges on the locker/lazarette of the '78 CD25? I'd like to replace them all out. Anyone know of a source? I'm not averse to filling the old holes and installing replacements, but if so, I'd love for them to cover the repaired holes and were sturdy. I've read the pin in the West Marine version is not stainless.

Thanks.

I've done a quick check and 2" open seems to be the standard for piano/butt hinges. I have a 22"X2" piece of piano hinge remaining from a larger piece. I can cut a couple 3" pieces from it. PM me if it would help you out.

Seadog makes a 2x3" butt hinge in 304 stainless. Finding them in 316 might be a problem.

Hamilton sells them #150593 (web site was down but I think this link might work when it is back up) :

Thanks for the offer Jim; I appreciate it! It looks like one of the two sources Rich posted will work out. Thanks to both of you.
