Aquatherm hatch covers are a soft cover designed to be used under a hard cover, not just by themselves - an alternative to Neoprene hatch covers.

We stock the most commonly used sizes:

8" Round (20cm hatch)
10" Round (25cm hatch)
17 x 10" Oval (43 x 20cm hatch)
17 x 12" Oval (43 x 25cm hatch)

The hatch covers are made from sturdy Aquatherm by Reed Chillcheater in the UK. They are a firm fit (as they should be!), and while stretchy there is not a lot of allowance for stretching the ovals over different shapes or sizes.

For differently shaped or proportioned oval hatches or other shapes we can have Custom Aquatherm hatch covers made up. This can take a few weeks as they have to come from the UK. You will need to make a template as per the Youtube below (this is also for a cockpit so you do not need to mark a seatback!) and send it to us at:
