This rectangular inspection hatch with frame is designed to provide reliable access to various compartments on your boat – such as storage lockers, tanks, or technical areas. Constructed from sturdy ABS plastic that resists impact and UV degradation, the hatch ensures long-term performance without warping or fading, even when exposed to sun and saltwater. The white material matches common deck finishes for a clean, integrated look.
The lid opens a full 180°, meaning it can flip completely back out of the way to give unobstructed access. This facilitates inspections, maintenance, or inserting/removing equipment through the ~25 x 60 cm opening. The lid’s surface has a slight non-slip texture, allowing it to be stepped on safely if installed on a deck. Installation is flush and hidden – the screws that secure the hatch to the deck or bulkhead are covered by the outer frame. This yields an attractive appearance with no visible hardware, while also eliminating spots where water or dirt might collect. Along the inside edge of the frame, an integrated rubber gasket ensures that when the hatch is closed, it seals tightly to keep out rain, spray, and wash. A single robust plastic latch handle on the outside provides opening and locking; when closed, it clamps the lid firmly against the gasket.
- Mounting Locations: Suitable for horizontal (deck) or vertical installations (transom, bulkheads) – provides access to hull interiors, bilges, or cabinets.
- For Mid-Sized Boats: Ideal for medium-sized boats and yachts – the 24.8 x 60.3 cm size is especially useful for narrow, elongated spaces or covering oblong openings.
- Secure Closure: The single latch keeps the hatch closed during waves and vibration; if needed, it can be supplemented with a padlock or key lock (if the design allows) for added security.
- Recommended Use: For vessels around 5–7 m in length, this hatch is well-suited as an inspection cover for dry compartments, access to a fuel or water tank, or for storage areas where reliable water protection is required.
