New and Not sure what I'm doing yet.
 

Hello to all you Mariah boat owners. We have had our boat for approx. 9yrs.and have enjoyed it tremendously with our family. Our boat and camping were our only means of vacation when the kids were growing up and now here comes the grand baby.

We are in the midst of re-upholstering the boat and need some help with locating the hinge for the hatch over the motor. Nothing wrong with the old except it looks dull and has some corrosion. We want to put a new one on beings we are going through all the other to keep our boat in tip top shape.

If you can help or share ideas in this area, we greatly appreciate it.:)

PS
This hinge is about 5'ft long.

Thanks for your help and nice to meet all of you!

Welcome to MOC Julie! :)

Those hinges are readily available at just about any marine store or online.
I suggest using the stainless steel one as a replacement.
Something like this.

Once again welcome! :)

Any Idea where to get the back hatch Hinge that covers the motor to a Barchetta 182 1994?

Good Morning Larry,
Thank you so much for your help with this hinge. The problem I am facing is, the hinge on our boat isn't like the piano hinge. On one side of the hinge it is bent in a 90 degree angle and the other side of the hinge is flat like the piano hinge. Our boat dealer up here could order me the piano hinge, but we can't find the other type of hinge. I don't know the specific name for that hinge if there is one.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Julie
