Rectangular Deck Hatch 35.5 x 60.3 cm (UV-Protected ABS)

This rectangular deck hatch measuring 35.5 x 60.3 cm offers an enlarged opening suitable for bigger compartments and accesses on yachts and boats. Constructed from durable, UV-stabilized ABS plastic, it is built to resist cracking or weakening even under year-round sun exposure. The hatch is designed to bear the load of foot traffic – its lid is reinforced and features a non-slip tread pattern, making it safe to walk on as part of the deck. Thanks to its substantial size, this hatch is particularly useful for accessing voluminous areas such as storage of life rafts, fuel tanks, large marine batteries, or generators.

The design includes two integrated handles spaced along the length of the lid, which make opening and closing smooth and evenly distributed. The dual latching points ensure the gasket is evenly compressed on all sides, thereby guaranteeing watertight sealing. A rubber gasket lining the frame keeps out water and dust, protecting the contents of the compartment. The hatch opens fully (up to 180°), which is crucial for larger openings – the lid will swing completely out of your way when you need to remove or stow bulky items. Like all EVAL hatches, the fasteners are hidden for improved aesthetics and safety. Installation is versatile: the hatch can be mounted on a horizontal deck or a vertical bulkhead, depending on your vessel’s requirements. It is available in a range of colors (white, gray, beige, black) so you can choose the best match for your boat. For added security of your gear, the hatch is designed to accept an optional lock mechanism.

• Suitability: This large hatch is ideal for cabins and decks of bigger boats where a wide access is needed – e.g., on motor yachts in the 7–10 m range or commercial craft with spacious compartments
• Applications: Used to cover openings to storage holds, anchor lockers, tank compartments, or other large equipment bays, providing easy loading/unloading of gear
• Safety & Convenience: With its twin handles and non-slip lid, the hatch is easy to operate and safe to step on. The absence of exposed screws and the flush deck frame eliminate trip hazards and reduce the chance of ropes snagging
• Installation & Maintenance: The robust frame requires proper bedding with marine sealant during installation. Maintenance is minimal, limited to periodic inspection of the gasket and hinges. If needed, replacement handles and seals are available to ensure many years of service
