This large deck hatch with frame provides secure and convenient access to spacious compartments below deck – for example, to the main bilge, storage areas, or engine room. With substantial outer dimensions of 460 x 510 mm, the hatch is designed for bigger openings where you need not only inspection access but also the ability to move larger items or equipment through. The high-strength ABS plastic construction ensures the lid can bear weight (such as crew stepping on it) and impacts without warping. The material is impervious to corrosion and specially UV-stabilized, meaning the hatch will retain its mechanical integrity and color even after years of sun exposure.
The lid’s surface is textured and non-slip, making it safe to walk on – a crucial feature when the hatch is installed on a deck or any area that people traverse. Two locking handles on the front edge of the lid allow it to be fastened securely to the frame at two points. This dual locking mechanism provides even pressure on the seal and prevents one corner from lifting or twisting under heavy vibration or wave impact. When the lid is closed and latched, the integrated rubber gasket creates a tight barrier that keeps water and dust out of the interior. Installation hardware is invisible from the outside, as the screws are concealed – only the smooth frame and lid are seen on the surface, blending in nicely with the deck.
- For Larger Vessels: Suitable for bigger boats and yachts (approximately 7–9+ meters) – can serve as a main bow deck hatch or a large access hatch to the engine compartment/floor storage.
- Bulk Access: Allows lowering and retrieval of bulky items (e.g. large bags, folding chairs, engine parts) below deck thanks to the wide opening.
- Storm Secure: The dual locking system ensures the hatch won’t pop open or leak even in rough seas or under heavy engine vibration.
- Universal Use: Recommended for any application requiring a large, strong, and waterproof hatch – from deck lockers on commercial fishing vessels to hatches on sailing yachts where both reliable access and safety are paramount.
