Spare Parts for Freeman Marine Model 2222 Square Deck Hatches (22" x 22" / 559 x 559 mm)

Welcome to Bövik Marin AB – authorized European supplier of genuine factory replacement parts for Freeman Marine Model 2222 square cast deck hatches. Offering a 22 x 22 inch (559 x 559 mm) clear opening, Model 2222 is a spacious square commercial access closure widely specified for personnel access, machinery trunks, pump rooms, and technical spaces across Coast Guard cutters, patrol craft, fishing vessels, and workboats.

Model 2222 (Series 2425 lift-out / Model 2222K and Series 2463 hinged / Model 2222-HK) is engineered with Freeman's heavy-weather knife-edge sealing system. The machined perimeter knife-edge rim and integrated coaming drainage gutter effectively capture and route green-water runoff away from below-deck compartments. Mechanically, a central 4-hole cam hub synchronizes four heavy-duty 12.75-inch dog arms to deliver balanced, powerful perimeter clamping force in under a quarter-turn via the flush deck handle or inside emergency escape handle.

Below you will find all genuine mechanical and elastomeric components required for scheduled maintenance, survey overhauls, and complete mechanism rebuilds for Model 2222:

Technical Guide: Maintenance and Component Specification for Model 2222 Square

The square geometry of Freeman Model 2222 (Series 2425 & 2463) provides an ample access dimension for crew and equipment where vessel frame spacing dictates a square deck opening. Because Model 2222 is configured exclusively with knife-edge sealing, selecting the correct replacement gasket matching host coaming metallurgy is critical.

1. Knife-Edge Gasket Specification: Aluminum vs. Steel Coaming

The coaming on Model 2222 features a machined knife-edge rim flanked by a deep perimeter drainage gutter. The replacement gasket is a hollow D-profile marine neoprene elastomer designed to seat securely into the cover channel:

  • Aluminum Coamings (Part no. 9813-2007): Precision-molded gasket tailored for Freeman 2222 aluminum coamings. Compatible with both lift-out covers (2222K) and hinged variants (2222-HK).
  • Steel Coamings (Part no. 9885-2010): Specifically profiled with adjusted base width for Freeman steel weld-in rings. Engineered to endure continuous deck vibration and heavy green-water sea states.

2. 4-Arm Kinematics with 12.75" Dog Arms

Model 2222 operates via Freeman's central 4-hole marine aluminum cam hub (Part no. 0011-2002) and four 12.75-inch aluminum dog arms (324 mm, Part no. 0211-2011). Because the hatch is square, these arms reach out symmetrically to all four edges to provide balanced, perimeter clamping force. During scheduled maintenance, inspect dog arms for straightness and renew nylon cam buttons (Part no. 0621-2004) to ensure smooth travel across the hub tracks.

3. Center Bushing & Spindle Sealing

Moisture weeping beneath the flush deck handle indicates worn spindle O-rings. Model 2222 utilizes Freeman's heavy-duty Universal Center Bushing Overhaul Kit (Part no. 0031-2204), containing a marine-grade sleeve bushing, dual O-rings, and stainless roll pin. Always coat O-rings with waterproof marine grease during reassembly.
