2 Introduction
This manual applies to the following VETUS Flybridge hatch.
For drawings see pages 14-15.
3 Fitting
N.B.: The highest permitted design category or the highest permitted
area of use is stated on every hatch.
When fitting the hatch, take the following into account:
- The hatch must open outward.
- Fit the hatch on a completely flat surface! The hatch will never be
watertight when closed if fitted on a curved surface!
- First, fill out the curved surface with a close-fitting wood frame.
- It is not possible to check that the hatch is watertight until it has
been completely built into the ship.
- When the hatch has not been fitted in the ship, the opening and
closing of the hatch can damage the aluminium frame and/or
hinges when the hinges have been adjusted very tight!
• Draw the hole to be cut out using the hatch deck frame.
All VETUS hatches are manufactured with a corner cutout radius
of 43 mm (1 11 / ").

The hatch is recessed into the deck so that the top of the acrylate
window will lie level with the deck.
Take the dimensions given in drawing 5 into account when deter-
mining the dimensions of the part recessed into the deck.
At least 1 water outlet must be made at the lowest point of the
recessed part of the deck.
• Cut the hole in the ship by sawing for polyester, aluminium or
wood, or by acetylene cutting for steel. Remove all burrs carefully
and smooth the edges.
Dust released when cutting and sanding glass-fibre reinforced
polyester is hazardous to lungs and eyes. So always wear a dust
mask and goggles when working with this material. Ventilate
the working area well.
• Position the hatch over the cut hole and mark the fixing holes for
the frame, see Drawing 3. Drill the holes and remove any burrs.
• Apply a sufficient amount of sealant to ensure a good seal, see
Drawing 4. Position the hatch on deck.
• Fixing the frame to the deck - deck material:
