This adjustable hatch support arm provides safe and stable holding of open hatches and lids on boats and yachts. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, it resists corrosion and is built for long-lasting use in marine environments. The heavy-duty build and strong hinge points ensure the bracket won’t bend or wobble even under boat vibrations or strong winds.
The arm’s length can be adjusted from roughly 300 mm (closed) up to 430 mm (fully extended), allowing you to fix a hatch at various open angles. A reliable “compass” style mechanism locks the arm at the desired position to prevent the lid from dropping unexpectedly. When it’s time to close the hatch, the mechanism easily releases to fold down the support. Thanks to its universal design, this support can be installed on a wide range of openings: deck hatches, windows, cabinet doors, engine compartment covers, or any access panel that needs to stay open safely.
- Deck hatches: Ideal for holding deck hatches open for cabin ventilation or convenient access.
- Engine covers: Great for propping engine compartment lids during maintenance – keeps them securely open for safer work.
- Storage lockers: Useful on storage box lids and cabinet doors, preventing them from slamming shut in rolling seas.
- Multi-purpose: Compatible with almost any boat lid or door that requires temporary support in the open position.
