Sorry this is such a simple question, but does anyone know where I can purchase the screen clips that are attached to the underside of the deck hatch frames? I've got a frame, (white plastic) for my forward hatch that apparently was retrofitted by the PO, but sans the clips. I'm tired of duct taping the screens on when at anchor. See attached photo. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sam,
What you have is the Lewmar hatch screen and trim kit for the #65 hatch. You could likely get replacement clips from Defender if you call them and describe exactly what you need. The latest version of that hatch screen and trim kit has hinges that replace the two forward tabs so you can open the hatch without removing the screen. You might want to ask about those as well. Hope this helps.

Sounds like exactly what I need to know. Thanks Tom, I'll call them tomorrow.
