Vetus Deck Hatch info
Date: February 5, 2005 The deck hatches for my 1977 vintage E37 were made by Vetus. They are known as the Hippo hatches, and Vetus still carries gasket material, hinges, regulator parts, and dogs. I've replaced all mine and have some spares. The plexi is crazed but still strong. You can use the 410 number below and order over the phone. VETUS DEN OUDEN, Inc Date: October 15, 2005 I would like to confirm Joe's comments. I just replaced the hinges on my Vetus Hippo.(I stupidly left the main hatch open and the vang carried it away on the first tack). What amazed me is how inexpensive they were ($3 each).
