Does anyone have the model number for the 575 master cabin hatch (one of the pair aft of the forward single hatch) and its replacement screen kit? Is it the Lippert stuff? If so, its ungodly expensive. On
a sailing trip we had the screen setup basically explode and it looks beyond repair
as its not just torn but frayed with lines hanging down. If someone knows a secret to fix these, then please let me know, but I am assuming I need to replace.  ------------- Rick S/V Black Diamond Hanse 575 Build #192, Hull# 161 Newport, RI |

On the 588 I believe it is the ocean air (now Dometic) product. The Pleated Skycreen. https://www.dometic.com/externalassets/dometic-oceanair-skyscreen-pleated_9600023485_82500.pdf?ref=1532986876" rel="nofollow - https://www.dometic.com/externalassets/dometic-oceanair-skyscreen-pleated_9600023485_82500.pdf?ref=1532986876 There are some repair videos online that may help. Also less expensive than Lippert. ------------- Leon / ARCADIA 2018 Hanse 588 Sag Harbor, NY |

Just found this outfit. They sell Ocean Air screen parts. https://www.ahoycaptain.com/Oceanair_RSS_Parts.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqH8MpfigjeY6E1vkAZpLhIhl9pvqTv9E091IBDZNTf_D_LhCYw" rel="nofollow - https://www.ahoycaptain.com/Oceanair_RSS_Parts.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqH8MpfigjeY6E1vkAZpLhIhl9pvqTv9E091IBDZNTf_D_LhCYw ------------- Leon / ARCADIA 2018 Hanse 588 Sag Harbor, NY |

it's funny , because sometimes I read about issues exactly when I have them...if by hanging lines you mean thin black wires getting loose and preventing the mosquito nets to slide , it's exactly what I see since a few weeks! I still don't understand their function and how they are installed ...any clue ? I've understood how to remove the structure from the roof, but I didn't proceed yet ... ------------- Hanse588#55 |

Can you put the link for Boatoon's part in here? When I looked I could not find it. I was assuming I had to take the whole thing home, put it on a work table and try to sort it out. The whole replacement unit seemed very expensive, but the parts that are problems seem easy enough to fix. I guess I won't know until I try. ------------- Rick S/V Black Diamond Hanse 575 Build #192, Hull# 161 Newport, RI |

Hi Rick The part that you are probably looking for is TBF0258.I have just checked it on Boatoon.Ordering was not straight forward I had many conversations with Sanja and waited months for my shipment.I am not sure now which of the screens that I ordered caused the problem. Best regards Duncan

I too suffer with this and found the site Arcadia pointed to a few months ago. It seems much more cost effective and faster if the frame is in working order. To get the replacement parts, it appears that I have to remove the whole unit to get the numbers that are likely printed on a surface that is concealed during installation. I stopped when I realized that it was going to need a helper to hold the frame while I unscrewed the attachment screws. Anyone complete an inventory of these for a 575/588? Mine look terrible! ------------- Jon S/V Lyn 2017 Hanse 588 | Hull 19 | Deep draft | 150hp | 220v & 110v systems | Lithium House Bank |

I think that Rick’s hatches on the 575 are slightly different than the 588. The 575 has a bend in the forward end that needs a more custom part but it all comes from Dometic anyway. I’ve noticed that the pleated screen on the “bent” hatch lacks the guide strings that the flat ones have. This leads to an early failure of the fabric since it does not fold properly unless you are very careful. ------------- Leon / ARCADIA 2018 Hanse 588 Sag Harbor, NY |

On my 575 if we start above the bed and work aft there is 1 x flat screen TBF0253 then 2 x sloped screens TBF 0258 and then in the salon 2 x long screens TBF0257 All of my screens became an eyesore and to a certain extent unusable. Duncan

Wow... my wife has been adamant about not beating on the screens/shades since we bought the boat. This is the first one we had trouble with. Sounds like everyone has had some major issues.. My plan is to take the shade off the boat, bring it home and lay it on a work table to see if I can fix it or a replacement is required. As I am in the middle of Nantucket Sound right now, its going to be a day or two before I am back in RI. ------------- Rick S/V Black Diamond Hanse 575 Build #192, Hull# 161 Newport, RI |

It is possible, with great patience, to take these apart and repair them. Mine have suffered from rusted and broken springs (a relatively easy fix) to broken strings (replaced with whipping twine, and a more challenging fix). The curved screens are more difficult. Any repair of these screens will tap your patience and challenge logical thinking, as the route of the center "string" around the perimeter is, well, unusual and unexplainable. Look closely at the parts that are still intact for guidance. ------------- Kipwrite |

Thats very interesting to hear that they are repairable.Were you able to replace the silver foil fabric or possibly it was still in good condition? Duncan

I did not attempt to replace the screen or foil, but I think if you had the parts it could be easily done. The tricky part is re-routing the string through a thicket of weird fittings. A few years ago Dometic had the replacement curved screens for the forward berth on my 505 priced above $1,000, each. Crazy. I've been very gentle with them since. And any salt will eat the springs quickly. I keep a few spares on hand, sourced from Dometic. ------------- Kipwrite |
