Re: Carver Mariner 350 Engine Room Hatches
In my salon (3607 aft cabin) I have 6 sections that open. The middle section comes completely out and is usually easy to access. There are two large panels, over the port and starboard engine, that are hinged and open outwards. Then there are two smaller panels fwd and aft of the middle section, that are also hinged and open to the bow and stern.
The Port hatch is located under the two couch sections I have. I was wondering if I could mount them both on a panel and then use 4 electric linear motors to raise them straight up, with enough clearance so I could open the hatch above the Port engine. It would make maintenance so much easier and even the little periodic checks simple.

Seriously though some hinges would be good idea you would need a pretty robust gas assist to support those babies.

The hinges similar to the generated hatch with a holding device.
Will have to look at princes auto for a support system.

Geoff wrote:Source of the post Hi, I have a 2005 36 Mariner and put hinges on the engine hatches last fall. They are way too heavy and awkward to keep shifting around. I did change the hinges on the transom door, not a big deal, just get new stainless steel hinges that go flat. I used the some type of hinge on the hatches, two for each. I will be installing gas lifts this spring, essentially to hold the hatches in the vertical position much like the centre hatch. The hinges work really well, made it a lot easier to winterize the engines, just propped the hatched up with a pole, but the gas lifts will be nice. It will make it a lot easier to do basic oil checks etc. since I will not have to move the hatches around t get in there.
Geoff, did you cut the edge of the hatch so it doesn't bind when you open it?
