I took out my original engine hatch hinge today and cleaned all the dirt and tarnish off.
It has a casting stamp number on it of 2163 and looks to be original.
The problem is that one of the bars is bent and I have not idea if this is how it is suppose to be or if I need to straighten it out.
Any advice from someone with experience with this item would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Re: Engine Hatch Hinge
The piece shown in the photo is the engine hatch lock which keeps the hatch locked open. It operates in the same manner as a jack knife. I have one on the engine hatch of my 17' deluxe runabout. The two halves are meant to be parallel so no bend.

Mark,
Squeeze it in a vise and it will straighten.
