Where can I purchase round deck lids

One of my access hatch lids flew off my new 188 deck boat. I think it is 5.25" where can I buy just the lid? I found a lot of full assemblies on amazon, just want the lid. Thanks

    You cannot buy just the lid, you must buy the matching ring with it.  You can get the exact one from a local Hurricane dealer, or if you purchase an aftermarket, change out the ring and the access port (lid) at the same time as I've not found any aftermarkets interchangeable with the rings on the 188s.

    It sounds like you've got a 6" deck access plate.  Hurricane uses the "quick twist" design.  If you decide to replace the entire plate assembly as nquirk suggests, you may want to consider changing to the "screw out" design as that design would probably minimize the loss of covers. 

    Just a thought.

    I lost 3 plates the first month I had my 188.  The problem stopped once I replaced the matching rings.

    Can you purchase just the rubber o ring for the access plate?
