Does anyone fit Skycreens from Oceanair ?
What are the size for a H355 ? I assume they are Lewmar's standards size (44 and 60 if I'm correct).
I wonder if "recessed" version could fit as they look much neater than the more usual "surface mount" version.

Any advice ?

Many thanks.

I was happy with the Oceanair blind that I put in our H400.  I think it is lewmar size 44 and the fit was exactly right.  Lewmar's own blinds seem to be available now at a significantly lower price and if I was buying now I'd probably try them.

If the ceiling surface is not flat, and doesn't have a headliner the blind won't work so well, but I saw one owner added some foam gasket to compensate.

I attached a photo of ours - the ceiling here (fwd cabin) doesn't have a headliner so you can see some light coming through at the edges, but this doesn't bother us.

Here you can see that the fit to the inside of the lewmar hatch is very good.  You can buy an additional overpriced trim piece for the inside surfaces but I don't see the point.

I update this thread.
The right sizes for H355 hatches are 44 for the front cabin and 60 for saloon.

But I didn't find how to undo and take the standard lewmar inside trim off. I can undo the white levers very easilly but they are still well stucked. Is it glued ?
Any idea how to remove it (see photo) ?
I'm thinking about cutting the edge in order to have a flat ceiling and then screw the Oceanair skyshade.

Brufan, have you solved the problem?
 
I had the same problem in my boat, but I simply used a fine saw blade and cut the trim off, flush to the ceiling. An easy job and after that I got a perfect fit for the Oceanair blind.

No, I haven't yet.
I left this job for the winter. Waiting for that, I've just screw the fore cabin skyshade over the original trim. It works as a temporary solution.
I note that you were able to cut the trim with a blade. I'll try to do the same.
Many thanks.
