Bomar Hatch Hardware

Bomar Hatch Hardware: Built for the Demands of the Marine Environment

When it comes to hatch hardware for marine applications, few names carry the weight of Bomar. Bomar has been the leading manufacturer of hatches and portlights for enthusiasts and builders since 1947. That decades-long track record is reflected in every hatch, replacement component, and accessory the brand produces — hardware built to survive salt air, UV exposure, heavy seas, and years of daily use.

A Full Range of Hatch Series

What sets Bomar apart in the hatch hardware category is the sheer breadth of purpose-engineered product lines. From flush-mount styles to heavy-duty cast and sliding options, Bomar offers a complete range of commercial-grade deck hatches engineered for strength, security, and all-weather performance. For boaters and builders looking for specific solutions, the lineup covers a wide spectrum:

• 7000 & 8000 Series Low-Profile Hatches: Low-profile aluminum hatch series trusted by boatbuilders worldwide for sleek looks and high performance.
• Commercial Grade Series: Made from Almag-35 cast aluminum and fitted with stainless steel hardware, these hatches offer watertight integrity in a low-profile design.
• 1400 Series Sliding Hatch: A sliding, low-profile hatch engineered for adjustable ventilation and smooth operation in all weather.
• Gray Series Inspection Hatches: These molded hatches offer excellent sealing power and everyday durability, constructed from UV-stabilized polypropylene built to resist sun damage, water intrusion, and wear from constant use.
• Stainless Steel Hatches: Bomar stainless steel hatches are polished, heavy-duty units designed for yacht and performance boat applications where aesthetics and long-term corrosion resistance are paramount.

Hatch Hardware: More Than Just the Hatch Itself

Bomar's hatch hardware catalog goes well beyond complete hatch units. Bomar hatch parts include replacement lenses, handles, seals, and hinges for maintaining your boat's hatches — designed to fit Bomar's popular low-profile and aluminum-frame models, ensuring watertight integrity and smooth operation. Among the most commonly sought components, the Bomar hatch riser arm is a key mechanical component that holds the hatch open at various angles, providing controlled ventilation while preventing the hatch lid from slamming shut due to wind or wave action. Whether you need a replacement gasket, friction knob, or hinge pin, Bomar's comprehensive spare-parts ecosystem means you won't have to replace an entire hatch just because one component wears out.

Advanced Features and Proven Materials

Bomar boat hatches are high-performance products packed with advanced features like quick-action dogs, lockable vent position, trim rings and screen, and an optional shade screen. For the most demanding applications, Commercial Grade Series watertight hatches are professionally assembled in-house with 316L marine-grade stainless steel T-handles and fasteners. Bomar uses 535 magnesium hardened aluminum (Almag-35) for commercial-grade inspection hatches — heated to 1,100°F at the Bomar foundry and poured into proprietary cast molds. This level of in-house manufacturing control is a key reason Bomar hatches are field-proven across commercial, military, and recreational marine industries.

American-Made Quality and Warranty Backing

Built in New Hampshire with CNC precision, Bomar engineers marine and industrial-grade hatches, doors, windows, and custom enclosures — delivering full design-to-delivery manufacturing for OEMs worldwide. All Bomar hatches are backed by a one-year warranty against any manufacturing defects, giving both DIY boaters and professional builders confidence in every installation. From a quick inspection hatch replacement to a full-vessel refit, Bomar's hatch hardware line offers the reliability and selection that serious mariners depend on.
