This large stainless steel hinge (74x75 mm) is specifically designed for use on wider hatches and lids of boats and yachts. With its almost square dimensions, the hinge provides a broad contact area, distributing load better and reducing stress on the fasteners. The material used – AISI 316 – ensures that even under harsh salty conditions, the hinge will not rust or weaken over time.
The flush installation makes this hinge perfect for deck applications: when the hatch is closed, the hinges don’t protrude and the deck remains smooth for safe footing. The design is flat and robust, and the mounting holes are positioned to maximize grip on the surface. This is an excellent choice for primary hatches (for example, a bow deck hatch on a yacht), as well as for bilge covers or large lockers.
- Recommended Use: Deck hatches and large openings on yachts and cruisers (e.g., access to forward compartments, engine rooms) – suited for medium to larger boats (8+ meters)
- Ideal for cabin entry doors or technical compartment covers where a low-profile hinge is needed to avoid tripping crew and passengers
- Typically installed in pairs or triples on a single hatch for very large lids – the hinge’s wide design means fewer hinges can support more load
- With proper installation and minimal care (occasional pin lubrication, rinsing), this hinge provides trouble-free operation and a preserved appearance throughout your vessel’s life
