Title: Need Eagle 15 roof hatches (air circulation hatches)
Post by: Paul Bolger on September 08, 2008, 02:28:39 PM
Does anyone know where to get replacement hatched for the front and back lounge of a 1988 eagle 15? They seem to be a lot like marine hatches from a sail boat or whatev. Please let me know if you have any ideas (mine both leak)!-Paul Bolger 708 583 1981  or cell 773 330 2922

Welcome Paul!

Not to be a smart alec, but have you tried taking them off and resealing them with butyl tape?

Another Eagle guy, that's great. Are you a member of Eagles International?

Paul, those hatches are made by Taylor or Bomar and you can get gaskets and parts at www.go2marine.com and if you have the standard escape hatch Jefferson or Silvereagle will have parts for those

Wow thanks for the help fellas! I can try the tape job on the front one but the back is just plexi over the hole, caulked on. I'll try those suggestions thanx!!! :)

If you want to get fancy, the top of the line ones on the transit buses are motorized from the driver's seat.

happy coaching!

They are scrapping school buses all over. They have the same hatch.

Don't school buses tend to have the Transpec hatch?

Eagle had 4 different style escape hatches for the 10 and 15 measure yours if you want the skylite type buy a Taylor ,if you want the standard call B&B in Vegas he removes them all the time and buy the a complete unit easier to install,also check the Eagle boards people remove the 2 units to install roof airs   good luck
