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. Bruno |

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. |
